Is there any hope for me?

You'll get there, YoullNeverWalkAlone. The HA pit is horrible, but once you know the trick it gets easier to climb back out every time.

Hi....

Thank you carnation....

I’m struggling a bit at the moment Mrs M, mainly with the HA side of things. I have about 4 Claire Weekes books think I will dig them out again, they were my bible at one point. Xx

Aw sorry to hear you are struggling. There was a good article
on this website that helped cure my health anxiety. I may have it a little
bit now but I suffer far more with GAD and depression. It all depends on what started it- my Nan died of a stroke because she didn’t do anything about the tingling in her hands. But sometimes I think I would rather live a life without worry (come what may) than worry and prevent a heart attack or something- because what is the point of being alive when we are always on the look out for death etc. I don’t think I am making much sense- but you get my drift. I hope you feel the light soon xxxx

Aww thank you blue and Mrs M.... I’m a veteran at this HA and always do climb out eventually, usually when whatever has started it goes away.... onwards and upwards eh!!

I couldn’t find the humour thread- where is it ��

[YoullNeverWalkAlone]

Hi Mrs M

Look for fun and games (in very small print)
just under it, it says panic pause/humour/games and quizzes
go into it
we play First letter/last letter
word association
word morph
but there is a lot more you can look at.
hope that helped

So at the moment - I am doing ok. I have this very little voice following me around saying something is not quite right. I am not sure what this is? Boredom, low level anxiety, low level depression? I’m not sure but it’s stopping me from being back to normal and it is there all day. I just wondered if anyone else has this and knows what it is? My sleep is much better, my appetite is better, I am still getting excited about certain things - but there is this little annoying voice here all day. I bit like an annoying drip that I cannot switch off from- maybe I will in time x

[BlueIris]

Time is the key here, I think. Acknowledge the voice - thank it for keeping you alert if you want - and then get on with your day.

When I get that feeling, I find it helps to take five minutes or so to think quietly and try to work out what it is I need that I'm currently missing, and how I can meet that need.
