Re: Relaxed mind... physical symptoms remain. How long?
I think that sometimes there are little relapses, but since I've accepted my HA they are more short-lived. For example, today I'm feeling a little off because I woke up with a pain in my back. I got a little nervous, fearing the worst, but put it out of my mind. I'll probably feel better tomorrow, after a long sleep.
As for how long it took me to feel better back when I got past the worst of my HA - maybe a week or two? I honestly can't remember I think with distractions it's much easier, though, so keep yourself busy! Some of it is that you've developed the habit, and subconsciously those thoughts and feelings remain, so you just have to get out of that place without succumbing back into the HA.
You can do it, though! Good job for coming this far!
