Hi Everyone,
I am still new to the board, but I have decided that in order to lessen my anxiety over EVERYTHING (generally having some kind of serious illness...mental or physical), I need to stay off PC and the internet in general. All these google searches and info I am finding on PC, as helpful as this site is, are working me up into a frenzy in an effort to self diagnois and turning me into a hypochondriat(sp?) and have me obsessing over the craziest things...my new obsession is the thought of having schizophrenia lol (if you have read a previous post in this forum--you'd know where that thought came from).One original thought leads to another and leads to another and before I know I worked myself up to the point where I'm crying out of fear, my heart is pounding..and well you knw the rest. lol. It's really not funny, but it sort of is when I go back and think about all the crazy stuff I think.... So I will be back next week sometime with an update on how my first T appointment went(it's just an intake appointment)---of course I am semi anxious about it, but because of my overwhelming fear of losing my mind is greater than my fear of going to therapy now, I can not wait to go and just start getting everything OFF my chest and off my mind! ...  ttyl. You all are fabulous!

I think we all need a break sometimes. I'm glad you know yourself well enough to know when it's time to step back for awhile. See you in a while! Take care.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
