Merry Christmas

[j2]

As Christmas is finally here and another year almost gone, I feel sad that another year has come and gone and we are still suffering with HA. I am glad to be alive, to have a great family and to have all of you. I have never met any of you and probably never will but in some ways I am closer to you people than I am to people I have known my entire life. Until I found this forum I thought I was alone and would surely either die from one of the many things I am sure I have or would finally just lose my mind. I can't count how many times this site has brought me back from the brink of rushing to the ER or googling more symptoms. As I site here with weird pains in my feet, one hand freezing for no reason and partially convinced that I must have a nervous disorder or a tumor; I know that I am not alone and that there are people out there who will listen and not judge. So thank you all, keep up the fight and may God bless us all.

:hugs:That was a wonderful post:yesyes:
In a nutshell you described the feelings of many on here:hugs:
We are closer to others on here because WE understand that we all suffer 'wierd feelings'
And NO ONE on here will make us feel stupid - no matter how bizzarre are fears sound.

I agree, bless this board. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the moderators here and wish everyone a beautiful holiday. Everyone here is so nice...we are sensitive creatures, moreso than most people I think and I have met the warmest people on this board. Also delightful to meet so many people from all over the world which I normally wouldn't encounter.

May this new year bring us closer to conquering this troublesome condition we all have.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone. Hugs, Lauren

Well said. Only those who have suffered mental health problems know what is like and those who have not shun those with them.


For over 46 years I have believed the best way froward is for like sufferes to help each other and sod everyone else. Finding this site only a few days back and the posts and pms etc I have seen and got proe this is correct. Despite many suffering so much they try so had through loe, care and understanding to hel pall on here.

A big thank you and a Very Merry Christmas to you all. With nothing a few days to look forward to I am now hell bent on the New Year being a good one and helping as many fellow suffers into the same good future as I can. I know in my case it is going to be hard but I am determined it will happen.

Great post.

I feel sad that a year on and I am still battling a few demons with HA. I had a racing heart spell earlier (I know the alcohol and anxiety does that to me) I debated going to hospital, but pulled myself together and came on here.

Lets hope 2010 is a good year for us all, and that we learn how to cope with the horror that is Health Anxiety.

Merry Christmas and love to my fellow HA sufferers

Thanks to everyone who has posted to this thread. It makes me feel better knowing that the people on this board have so much compassion. This board is the only thing that keeps me sane some days.

Thank you!
