I would like to say a massive thanks to everyone, and to wish you all farwell.
I have today come to terms with my anxiety. I've run a psychological test on myself - quite simply, do my symptoms go away if I stop thinking about them?
YES, they do. so I've been forcing myself to do other stuff, to focus on happy things and not even think "how are the symptoms now"? I figure that if I was genuinely ill, I wouldn't have been able to go for the run I went for earlier. I wouldn't have been able to get up. And my symptoms wouldn't just go away.
As much help as this forum has been, I know that ultimately, it forces me to think about my anxiety endlessly. So I'm cutting it out of my daily routine. I am fine. I am fit and well. I wish you all the very best.
I'll leave you with the lyrics of the song that always helps me:
Lately/did you ever see the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone
Maybe I just want to fly/wanna live I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe/maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me/we'll see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
