Just wanted to let all you fellow HA sufferers on NMP that today has marked a very poignant point in my recovery!
My therapist agrees with me that I have made tremendous steps with the CBT I have been undertaking and it would appear that my HA is diminishing as each day goes by with the help of the strategies implemented during my therapy
How wonderful it is to wake up and NOT prod and poke myself to see what is wrong with me today
How amazing it is not to think I am dying
How fantastic to be able to suffer a panic attack and reduce the symptoms to zero using the things I have learned
How clear my head is now that every waking hour IS NOT spent worrying about being ill and dying
How brilliant it is to know that I can go and see my doc and my dentist without mega avoidance
And yes I know I still have a long road to travel in my recovery but it is beginning to feel really good ....................................
and I just want everyone suffering on here today to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that you can be taught to overcome your worries and anxieties if you can open your mind to it all - it is not easy and at times it is very uncomfortable (even more so than a panic or anxiety attack itself) but if you can stick at it, in the end you will be successful.
Thanks to everyone here who has supported me through my worst moments and through all my wobbles!!!
My next therapy appointment is a discharge appointment and I am so excited and pleased - the best Christmas present ever
