Hi everyone
Tonight brings with it more anxious thoughts and feelings and I was just about to write a post under the Health Anxiety section when I suddenly stopped and I considered. How many times had I posted about the exact same symptom, how many times have I everytime associated it with a new even scarier illness or problem only to be proved wrong? I stopped and I considered. Will posting about the exact same symptom really help me? Sure I might get reassurance for a little while but that only fuels the fire in the long term. To truly cure oursleves of these 'symptoms' we must look no further than our own minds. As anxious people we become so absorbed by one small feeling - we turn a mole hill into a mountain. So next time I come close to posting on here about the exact same symptom I will think back and I will remember. How many times have I seeked reassurance for this? and has it really helped in the long term? I truly believe the power to heal is within all of us. We just have to be brave enough to find it.
