Hi everyone
Just wanted to share a bit of positivity. I am feeling much better today with my health anxiety. It sounds weird, but I think the fact I am ill at the moment has actually helped?
Its weird but when I had the itching I was so convinced I had something lethal, when I found out it was shingles it was a relief!
Also I actually feel in a lot of pain and feel rough, more so than I ever had with HA symptoms, it has made me realise a bit what is real for me and what is my mind playing tricks on me.
I am getting a lot of shooting pains under my skin and I have little energy but my actual anxiety is loads better today!
Even though I am still getting some very real physical things that normally bother me, I feel much more relaxed about them.
Really want to get back to work, have been off almost a week now and I imagine I am going to need a bit more time. Being home alone in the day is a trigger for my anxiety so hopefully I'll be better when I am back to work.
Wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who has helped me recently, would be lost without this site - it has been such a huge support network for me.
:hugs:xxx
