Fuck off anxiety. Take your shitty, twatting blown-out-of-all-proportion circling thoughts with you. Stop making my poor ole brain fixate and obsess over ridiculous things that raise my heart rate and make me want to run. Stop making me bore myself with this arsing, ridiculous, shitting arseholery.

My name is Chickens, and today I am cripplingly anxious because my dog has got a bit arsey with other dogs trying to take his ball. Yep, it's that twatting trivial. I hate you, brain.

It should help, I saw one regarding my varnish licking lip curler, and I was then able to see why she was doing it. If I saw another dog approach, I would feel a bit anxious Hmm, and scrabble to get her on the lead in case she attacked them, but she picked up on it and thought I was frightened of the approaching dog, and tried to protect me.

I love this thread - it makes me feel human xx

I completely empathise with you Recall

Anxiety/panic attacks/fatigue just fuck the fuck off and let me be me (I don't know how to be me anymore!)

Fuck off and let me stop using too much hand gel
Fuck off and let me stop throwing good food away
Fuck off and let me stop googling images of mouth cancer
Fuck off and let me stop googling symptoms of everything that hurts
Fuck off and let me drive in the ice/snow/rain
Fuck off and let me stop checking my children aren't dead every morning
Fuck off and let me stop repeatedly walking back to the car to check the handbrake is on/front door is locked
Fuck off and let me stop feeling sick when the phone rings
Fuck off and let me stop feeling sick when I receive mail - the postman makes me jump a foot off the ground every day he brings mail
Fuck off and let me stop feeling sick when someone knocks on the door
Fuck off and let me stop expecting to see blue flashing lights at my house when I come home

Hello again!
I have honestly been feeling much better.And I swore and wasn't struck down by lightening!
I have had a few slight worries, but all the research I have been doing and the fear of having to rely on medication is helping I believe. Just in case though I have been taking well woman Multi-vitamins. I have not got anxious about them though I can never remember to take them two days in a row! It seems to be one day miss a day up to now.
I have been learning my times tables whenever I have started to get the anxious feelings stiring and that has taken my mind of it slightly. Some things I have put my mind foot down and thought.-If that happens we can sort it out.but wait and see-that-might not happen.
Here comes the sweary bit!
Yesterday I got shat on by a seagull.
Not in my hair or on my arm but down the inside -yes, the inside- of my coat.
the shit streaked in a lovely line down near the zip and also onto my tracksuit top and I wasn't too sure but I thought it went on my t-shirt as well.
Dh said just put it in the wash it will be fine.
I thought -he is right I will just put it in the wash it will be fine.
And so I did.
I only washed my hands about four times!
But I didn't wash out the washing machine after I did it and I handled my coat 'normally' when I took it from the machine.
(I only walked around with spread eagled hands for a tiny amount of time and then realised how silly I looked!)
So the anxiety is fucking off at the moment.
Yee-Ha!

And I got shat on.
I think it's supposed to be lucky but I think its only lucky for the bird as it isn't constipated any longer.

Dear Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, PTSD and Health Anxiety.

You have put me through 21 years of fucking hell, but you will not beat me.

You have made me think I was mad, but you will not beat me.

You have stopped me from going out of my house for a year, but you will not beat me.

You have fucked up relationships, but you will not beat me.

You have robbed my children of doing normal childhood things because at times i cannot leave my house, but you will not beat me.

You have driven me to 'self medicate' with alcohol, but you will not beat me.

You have also made me compassionate, self aware, determined and strong - for that I thank you ...dare I say that over the years you have become like an annoying friend ...I can not imagine my life with out you ...
