Would it really be more kind of us to humour you in your delusions and help you stay on the same treadmill you seem to keep wanting to run on forever?
What you might not remember is most of us here have been where you are, and we don't want you to lose huge chunks of your life to this vile disease like we have.
We don't want your partner or child to lose chunks of their life to your illness either, though. Health anxiety makes a person self-absorbed in a way you can't afford to be with a new baby on the way.
