Does anyone remember as far back as when 'anxiety' was called 'suffering with your nerves'? To me this phrase seems more simple, easier to get over. The word 'Anxiety' is a horrible word to me. Maybe all words with an 'X' in them are horrible!! Maybe I have to much time to think:blush: :blush: :ohmy: :ohmy:
'Health Anxiety' was called 'hypercondria' - maybe that doesn't sound so drastic either. Panic attacks are now 'Panic Disorder':scared15:
I dunno maybe it's just me, but when it was a plain & simpler language, it seemed & felt easier to get over. I know that seems like it can't possibly make a difference but I feel that it does. I suppose that's why Dr Weekes's first 2 books are called 'Peace from nerves suffering' & 'Self help for your nerves'.
They used to have cartoons strips in papers depicting 2 woman talking over the garden fence with a fag hanging out of their mouths saying "ooooooooh yer, she suffers with her nerves".
Maybe I'm talking outta me a***:scared15: :wacko: :lac: :weep:
