How many hours

[suzy-sue]

Just out of curiosity how many hours a day/week .Do members with H/A spend on the health anx forum? Do you feel better for it or worse .? ie .Does it give you reasurance ? or does it make you feel that you really are suffering with a Illness rather than Anxiety ? Thanks Sue

Hi sue :)

For me I don't like to be on this forum too much as I don't feel it does me any good but I like to pop over to see if I can offer any advice! I have in the past tho posted about current health problems like when I had a huge abcess just for reasurrence!
I spend most of my time on the panic attack forum as my health anxiety causes panic attacks!

I, come in here and see if there are any posts that are unanswered or I have a view or insight on, or just some helpful advice, but I don't stay in here for that long to be honest, I spend a lot of time in the NMP chat room, which is a lovely place to talk and it's not all doom and gloom in there, we have a great time and I highly recommend it, fantastic bunch of people :)

I spend a lot of my time on these forums. I check quite a few times a day. I feel like Ive got to a place with my anxiety where I dont need to ask for help, but I like to give help to others. I usually try to pick out the unanswered posts :)
Im actually thinking of writing a "guide" for myself in the future if I ever need it and for others to read. Im not a brilliant writer though lol

I used to spend hours on here but since I started getting better I've been spending less and less time on the forum.
It has been a massive help in the past but I do worry spending too much time on here now may be a hinderance to my own progress.
