Re: Head, meet wall
Thanks, Pulisa.
When I was drowning in my HA, I used to complain that my husband wasn't sympathetic enough and just didn't get it. It was only when I hit rock bottom that I realised that I was being irrational and had to take responsibility for myself - the problem wasn't my health, it was my beliefs.
I'm not a naturally cruel person, I've just seen for myself that endless reassurance and sympathy simply make the health anxiety cycle worse.
