Sorry if I missed anyone!

Thanks @MrsWhites I’ve taken the day off today so going to pop Netflix on to keep me distracted :)

@Goolies good idea! I need to find a new series to watch too, just finished line of duty!

Got my vaccine coming up next week, not worried about the vaccine itself but more about the side effects causing me anxiety...I’ve heard of it affecting periods and causing underarm/breast swelling. I just know that anything like that will send me spiralling. Get ready to talk me down next week ladies 🤣

@MrsWhites
If you're into teenage stuff then I binged Ginny and Georgia until 5am. Thoroughly recommend. It's on Netflix.

@MrsWhites are you on the WhatsApp chat? That has just been reccomended on that too! Xx

Oh sorry just realised it was you that reccomended @argueifnecessary lol. Wow till 5am? I’m going to give it a go for sure

@Goolies no I didn’t know there is a what’s app chat?

I’ve started on colony, will give that one a go too!

@MrsWhites yes just set up yesterday!! You may have missed the posts it was yesterday afternoon I think.

If you would like to join just pm your number to @argueifnecessary. Would be great to see you on there x

Hi everyone! Will catch up properly tonight and send @argueifnecessary my number! Hope your all doing ok x

Woke up with left sided pain today I have done before but hurt sro breath in deeply I was told by doctor be wind from large intestines but I’m thinking I’m dying or something I’ve had this on and off for a year idk what it is but I do struggle with bowels. Soon as I trump it goes away

@HildegardeCrowe how are you doing. Hope your feeling ok x

@Loobylou1987
I've always known that if discomfort goes away after burping or farting then it's nothing serious.

Hi @Dollsandfoo, I’m going back to work next week and not doing too badly thanks. Just anticipating the next meltdown which isn’t good, wish I could learn some coping skills. How are you doing? And hello to everyone else.

Hope everyone is okay?

My anxiety is so severe at the moment. I don't know how to stop the fear and it's ruining my life

I had an ultrasound of my kidneys as I was worried about kidney cancer and it was clear so now I'm back to bladder cancer and breast cancer

I'm taking my sertraline religiously and it's not helping. I just want the constant noise in my head to stop so I can get on with my life

@HildegardeCrowe that's great that yoir going back to work. Hopefully it will be a good distraction. Am doing OK thanks. @polkadotpixie how long have you been on sertraline. Am just coming up to week 4 and I think its finally starting to help x

@Dollsandfoo I've been on it just over 2 months and I've just moved up to 100mg. I found it helpful for a while but it's not working at the minute 😩

Hello all!
Does anyone feel that when you have one issue sorted another automatically pops up? Had diahorrhea for weeks, sent samples for analysis, all clear, then right sided pain, ? Ovaries, all clear and moved onto stomach issues, it's exhausting!

@Galwaygirl
Yes, this is how we roll...

I was like this for years wore me completely down. Went to a therapist who gave me so much but recommended gp advice. Put on lexapro to relieve anxiety and depression have never looked back.
Resultant at first but has truly saved me.

Yep am the same..one thing to the next x

@Galwaygirl yep! It’s like all the issues are standing in a queue and as soon as one is sorted the next one is waiting!

I can relate to this so much. I have crippling health anxiety, it's one thing after another.
I've recently had a heart scan which has come back okay but they couldn't see one part so now I'm thinking I have a tumour blocking that part and I've been in bits all day. I can't even describe to anyone else, this panic comes over me. I'm really struggling today.

Has medication helped anyone, I really think I need to call Gp to discuss medication, I can't carry on like this. I had to leave work early today because I couldn't concentrate and was crying constantly. I'm convinced I have something wrong with me

Hi all. I’m back
Anxiety has been under control for past few months and then wham! Here I am again.
I’m
Obsessing over my skin. Is that a Mark? A rash? A bruise? Is it normal? Best check again, and again and take a photo 🤦‍♀️
It all started with a lump in my armpit (that has now gone after a course of antibiotics).
Why does HA keep creeping back up on me! I’m u sure if I should increase my meds? I hate that I have to ring and speak to a dr, I find face to face so much easier.

@MovingHouseTomorrow30th yes, medication has helped me.
