Hello everyone and Happy New Year! This is my first post on NMP, but I used to post a lot on AZ "Hypochondria" board under the name Fleurdelis82, if anyone remembers me.
Anyhow, I decided to give a quick update. I'm currently doing fine. Since having a baby on September 13 I went up to 150 on Zoloft and keep going to therapy, and doing a lot of mental work. All these measures seem to be helping. I try to practice mindfulness, whenever the hypo fears strike (pretty much daily) I try to take them down with rational thinking. Also journaling helps a lot with that.
Overall it's been about 14 months of the non-stop hypochondria hell, but I can finally reluctantly say that I might be seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Let's hope it's not a freight train, lol :D A lot of mental work, therapy and medication do help. And most importantly, a lot of self-help and determination to put a stop to this madness. It's an uphill battle but the win is definitely possible!
All the best to y'all! Please don't hesitate to drop by and say HI! :welcome:
