Afternoon guys, hope you are all doing well and it is great to see that yet another day has passed without one of us getting one of the conditions we fear.
Not sure quite how to phrase this, but I am genuinely intrigued given that this is a HA forum, what people are doing to recover from their anxiety? I get that asking for reassurance is part of a process, we have all been there. But it absolutely isn't part of the journey to recovery, in fact you could argue that in some respects it is actually counter productive when it comes to recovery.
Recovery isn't something that is just going to happen to you, not even a tiny bit. It isn't something you can sit back and hope will arrive. It is something you have to work at. Not in the casual, 'I tried a couple of sessions of therapy and it wasn't for me' way, but really work on it as if it is the most important thing in your life.
There are people who visit this forum on a pretty regular basis who are in a better place than you are now, and get this.....they are willing to help and support you, yet many don't feel able to offer anything when it comes to symptom threads.
So why don't we try a few more threads that offer one another peer support through a process of recovery, the rough the smooth, the setbacks and so on. The symptom threads will always exist - you may even post some sometimes, but try and find time to concentrate on recovery from the one thing that absolutely everyone here has in common - anxiety.
Remember though, if it was easy no one would suffer from anxiety.
