Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Cheers for your support

I think the one thing I learnt when I first got ill is that you really have to fight this thing and can't let it beat you. I made myself do things and felt dreadful for a while and bit by bit it got easier. It is very difficult when things go downhill again as the fear of being in that place again breads even more fear, but i am trying hard to recognise that and work through it. With a great deal of help from my family and friends, have decided not to hide this illness as i have nothing to be ashamed of!!
The new thing I'm having to deal with is eye floaters and visual probs....have had everything tested and its all cool, but anxiety will try and convince otherwise so just trying to fight that really.

Cheers Liz

Sciz,

the flaoters are so annoying!!!! I share this with you.

So pleased to hear you call this a blip....and you are dead right....its a blip...and it will pass.

You should be proud of your determination to carry on doing things as this will lead you out of this........I know what its like, hated doing anything that made me fell odd, which was almost everything!!! but did it anyway....and yep it gets easier and easier...until its gone.

take care,

doddy

Really helps knowing other people know what it feels like...although wouldn't wish these feelings on my worst enemy!!

When your at your lowest it really feels like no one in the world can understand how you must be feeling....so a site like this is a complete god send.

Cheers

Liz,

Firstly, welcome to the site. Secondly, I absolutely agree that before finding this site it seemed like no one in the world could understand how it feels. Thanks heavens for the inventor of the internet!

Liz,

so many on here if not all will know how you feel......and its great that many on here know how you feel and no longer feel that way.......shows that this can be beaten.

I think that maybe 20 ,30 years ago that this anxiety thingy was virtuay un heard of, none or no support and not much available to help. However today it is far more greatly understood, treatable and look at sites like this that help you get through it.

we should count our blessing.

Hi Liz

Welcome to the site. Yes its a blessing in disguise but has also amazed me at how many people are suffering similar things. I think we feel so alone and isolated yet when you look you do find people who can really relate to you.

take care
