Goodbye for now :)

[ElectricAlice]

This isn't because of anyone, I just wanted to say i'm leaving the forum for a while. It isn't helping me in the way I need, as in for me personally, I find myself seeking too much reassurance all the time. And I believe this creates a bad loop for me right now. I need to believe it myself. And I have been reading books about HA and CBT that advise what I feel.

I realised I don't ever feel better in the long run after talking it out a lot with people, it makes me think the problem is more apparent. I just feel like I need to take this step.

This is just me, and I have had some excellent advise and support from a few people here, thank you so much. I will always appreciate that :)

Good luck to you all! You can all do it.

Oh and if anyone wants support or advice, just PM me. I'll be happy to help in any way I can.

I've had to leave the forum too but I come back every few weeks to offer help if I can. Logging on here was part of my checking/ocd behaviour. Sometimes you have to leave to stay sane, even though today i am having a bit of a slide and a panic.

I wish you well.

[ElectricAlice]

Thanks :). Yes I found this site has become part of my checking problem too.
Good luck to you and I wish you well.

Bye for now Electric Alice - I am sure you will be missed as your posts always seem to offer good advice.

Good luck with your recovery - great to see someone having the courage and foresight to see what is working - come back and help from time to time when you are able

:D

Yeah, I think I have to completely agree with you and I'm going to call it quits too. I don't really seem to get a response from anybody on here when I need help the most. When I first joined, it was much better, but now I get no responses. It's probably for the best. I probably shouldn't be reading about other people's problems. For me, it just fuels my HA, knowing what "other" types of diseases/conditions/symptoms are out there. So I have to thank you, because you making this move to stop visiting this site and opening my eyes to see that I may need the same thing will probably help me more than anything else!

Good luck with your recovery!

[ElectricAlice]

Thanks so much for all of your replies :). It means a lot! And please anyone PM me if they want my email to stay in touch. Saying some of my advice was helpful means so much to me :)! And I got a lot of good advice here too.

Nellie, I'm glad I helped you see a way forward, that's great! I'm sure you'll do great :) and keep in touch to let me know!
