Hi everyone,

 

I've been posting frequently on the Fibro and Anxiety forums lately. I'm dealing with a tremendous amount of pain, anxiety and depression caused by my Fibromyalgia.  This last year to 18 months have been extremely difficult. The PTSD and depression has become bad enough that I need medication and counselling.

 

My decision to leave the forum is that I'm wondering if reading and replying to posts is causing my anxiety to be worse than it needs to be. Might be causing what is called "health anxiety".  I need to give my mind and psysche and break; a chance to get well. Not be thinking about health related things so much.  That seems to be the only thing in my life these days; always talking about illness. 

 

I won't be checking in or reading any threads.  Not for a while anyway. I just want to see if by doing this, I improve.

 

My thoughts and prayers will be with each one you as they always have been! 

 

God bless,

 

Ginny

(((((Ginny))))))), I do understand. I don't get on here as much as I used to. You have to do what is best for you. You will be missed around here though. If you ever want to email privately I'm listed on here. My hubby suffered from PTSD his whole adult life.

love ya

Hey Ginny

You will definitely be missed, but like the others I understand when you have to back away and clear things for yourself.  you have to take care of yourself first, or you can't take care of anyone else.  you have helped me tremendously with your posts.

Hope this break will help you to find a better way for you.

Ginny,

We'll miss you too, but we'll be happy for you, knowing that you're doing something to help your healing. When I feel real bad and am in an awful flare, I tend to spend a lot of time here, but as I start to feel better I stay away. What you're doing is real healthy.

The beauty of this forum is that we are all here for you, and you know that you can come back whenever you want and that you won't be forgotten. Only missed.

Take care of yourself Ginny, and I do hope you start to feel better.

(((Hugs)))
