Looking for a girl for a date must have same hobbys as me anxiety :)

Your totally missing the point if you think it's sad that's ok
It's a bit of harmless fun I try not to take anxiety to seriously thanks for the comments though ..... Duly noted and ignored ������

Why should one person with anxiety not seek to date another with anxiety? I can't see why that should be discouraged in any way. A natural empathy could be a real positive in such a relationship. Good luck.

Hi scrog brilliant post!!!!!! made me chuckle

Thought about all the times that's happened to me

i couldn't have put it better:)
you have to laugh or you would go mad

remember you are not alone I share your pain

good luck with the date you deserve someone who understands

Im lucky that my wife does

all the best mate Tez

Hmmm my opinion (I know it's just light hearted as you stress) is that anxiety is not the real you...it's just fear. And I dunno about you but when I have anxiety it goes up and down throughout my life. So my profile would be different everyday! And I would rather judge someone by their personality underneath it all.
I find it interesting you don't see your anxiety as a problem that needs solving, but more of a mild incapacity.

See my point?

Yes, it's quite a bit of dark humor but that was my point. It may be funny but would be inappropriate in a setting of oral cancer survivors. Some may find the humor in it while for others it's a reminder of the limitation the disease places on them. Thus my point about the OP.

Fishmanpa ... Can I be honest take all that negativity and aim it at some one else.... there might be a forum for people like you im sure there will be a forum for it

I've got anxiety issues I deal with every day tried it all Cbt / meds wearing funny clothes and chanting ermmm what else suna facing my fears ...u name it but it's still in full force some days more than other why is enjoy this forum talking about issues and offering words of wise to new sufferers so why not date some one from here not that it will or wont happen but ive had loads of inboxes saying it was a great post and people have the same issues so its not necessarily a bad thing

ive got anxiety had it ages so what im scared of crowds and all the other stuff but u no what i go any way i feel the anxiety wobble oll over but still do it.

yes its embaressing writing a thread like this but i did it any way !!!!!!! What have you done today ???????

What i dont do is knock some down who is allready trying to get up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it makes you feel good to have a go at me then thats fine if i can give you 5 min from anxiety by having a go at me then thats ok go on keep going water runs off a ducks back like negative comments do to me im trying and thats the best i can do.....

Feel the fear and do it any way .... GREAT BOOK !!!

I wouldent compare oral cancer to anxiety but there you go but on the plus side apart from me Beeing a saddo postngi a thread like this had a nice response with inboxes from people who seam to like it so not all bad .

ALWAYS BE POSITIVE BUT IF YOU DO NEED TO HATER SOME ONE ONLY HATE A HATER !!!!

******To every one else thanks for the nice comments and keep up the fight its weekend the worst time for anxiety soon be monday ***** :roflmao:

Actually there are a couple of sites I frequent. Both are oral cancer sites. It was several postings from people who obviously suffered from anxiety, specifically HA, that brought me here. I've learned a lot about anxiety and specifically HA to try and help those on the cancer sites and I've stuck around to offer support to those suffering here. Specifically those with heart and cancer fears. I've been there so I can offer words of reason concerning those fears, especially since I don't suffer from anxiety. I have and do suffer from some depression, which is understandable and quite common for someone having battled cancer and heart disease so I have a pretty good taste for mental afflictions.

I'm truly sorry my words strike a negative chord with you. Keep in mind that a public forum allows opinions and not everyone has to agree. All I'll say is good luck with your affliction as well as your search for love. I do hope you find what you're looking for. As a survivor of two heart attacks, bypass surgery, stents and most recently stage IV oral cancer, I know what it's like to suffer. The only difference between my illness and yours is that one can bury you under ground and the other above it.

As far as what I've done today? Besides some Christmas shopping and making a big pot of chili, I've answered quite a few PM's from people here in an attempt to help and encourage them.

Best of luck in your endeavors.

I don't think fishmanpa is a "hater" scrog, even if his humour was a tad naughty in trying to give you a new perspective. At the end of the day everyone on this forum wants you better and wants you to have a life you can enjoy, try to take everything on board even if it feels bad now as it all adds up :)

Hi Scrog...if I was so many years younger I would probably have answered your dating appeal :blush: How many times we 'anxies' wish that people in the real world could understand us, so to be with another person who has the same anxieties would help make life more bearable yes? I'm ok nowadays, having lived with my anxieties...mostly stemming from heart anxiety and claustrophobia...we could've sat and cried together on a plane for example, instead of sitting with somebody who doesn't get it and thinks you should just snap out of it :lac:!
But as ive grown older...and i'm very old now :noangel:...the anxiety has finally turned a corner, or I should say that I have finally learned how to ignore it all, because really, it never leaves completely I don't think, you just find ways to live with it. You will be ok believe it. You're a good looking bloke and you will find your significant other one day. I loved your post :)

Take Care
