Hi everyone. I just spent close to an hour looking up my past threads. I can see how my health anxiety improved over the years. At first I was so deep in the hole I couldn’t even see the light. It took a long time and a lot of work but I pulled myself out. Am I completely cured? No, of course not. Having anxiety is part of being human. This past week for example I got this strange feeling in my finger. I panicked a little but realized it’s probably anxiety. Still I was fixated on it. Then I started having other “symptoms”. Fearing more and more. Sometimes the voice of anxiety is so loud it’s deafening. I have learned to change the way I respond to it. I have to let it ride itself out. The less attention I give it the less power it has. Every time I slip it’s easier for me to pull myself out. I just wanted to share this with all of you. I’m going to try to be more present on this site. Now that I’m better I want to help others. Please know there is hope! For those of you that remember me, my son is now 10 and doing exceptionally well. My husband and I reconciled and we had another son who is now 5. Thank you to everyone that has helped me!
