hi
thanks for replying,i am just begining to understand whats going on with my anxiety and its people with the same situation who seem to be the best help,i hope yer anxiety is some what under control because i would not wish it on my worst enemy to suffer from this,but people openly talking about it is very comforting..I found it very hard just accept it never mind speaking about it with other people i was a bit embaarrased about it all..Still have not really spoke to friends about it..

thanks bones

Hi Bones
Health Anxiety has brought me to my knees this year!
I dont know what i would have done without this site, it is comforting to know that there are others out there that have the same fears and symptoms!

Hi

I am new too, and its comforting to know that there are people out there who know how you feel .

Hi Bones - Health Anxiety can really get to you.

While I don't suffer it personally (I have GAD), self talk can really help. I bet you know that for every time you feel like running to A&E you can talk to yourself and talk yourself down, as you understand your condition is anxiety related not now medical as it has been.

Once you accept this, then it will become easier. Whenever you feel like its too much tell yourself you've been there before, coped, and are strong enough to do so again. Its a bold statement to make especially to yourself, but you can overcome this.

With time and patience you can overcome your fears - and thats just what they are, fears not reality.

We're all here for you when you need that extra push to get you back on the rails if you have a wobbly moment.
