Hi to all, haven't been checking in much of late but I just wanted to say
THANKS especially to Kitt, Hibee & ScardyCat and to other members who gave me support when I needed it. I found this site while looking for a therapist of some sort, at my lowest point when I thought I had lost all control.
This site is such a fantastic resource for us freaks :0
nice to give / receive advice and support from others who know and understand...and, one or all of you guys are always there when people need to talk...

I was good, then bad again, better, then worse, but being on here has helped me tremendously. Last week I was so sick of feeling anxious, pretty much all the time.. I followed one of SC links to a CBT course which I downloaded and have really changed the way I look at things now. Such an improvement in the way I feel and think in just a few days. I would recommend CBT and mindfulness to anyone with anxiety. When I first read the material I wave of emotion came over me as I could relate to the content so much, and on some level I knew I had found the stuff to get me over this well and truly...so thanks SC, you probably mentioned CBT about 50 million times before I went and had a look! Now I know why..
tongue

here's to getting better....

gratefully

Yeah! I am really glad that you found some comfort in the link that you checked out...just out of curiousity was it the worksheet pages, Moodgym, or something else?

It is funny how sometimes you just need to see something at the right time for it to click with you. When I first started therapy, I thought that it may not work and that I was a hopeless case...but after some time for it to sink in, I became more open to it and it started to work for me:)

I hope that you continue to do well, and that you will keep posting with us, as you can now encourage others in their journies!

Keep up the good work,

S.C.

dakota,

I am so happy that you have found our A & P Forum to be helpful and  supportive as well as providing you with the opportunity to share with others. 

I understand the ups and downs and then the good days that just seem normal and coming here talking to others who know how I feel will most likely always be a part of my life.   I understand and I accept that I will have this condition all my life and I don't feel guilty about it but when anxiety is able to sneak up on me I am revisiting the MoodGYM CBT program to help me get back on track. 

I have turned to the wonderful members in this forum  to deal with many difficult moments in my life, and the help I received help me validate that I am OK.  You are an awesome member and I thank you for finding HW and joining us. 

I also have printed the worksheets but not all of them - they are a great resource and thanks to SC for including those in our Resources.

I hot wired your link for you in your post.  :-)

My wish for you is peace and happiness.

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt

Hi Dakota

Good to here from you and glad you have found that coming to HW has ben helpful. Anxiety is a hard thing to deal with and we are all on the anxiety roller coaster which brings it ups and downs. Glad you have looked into CBT as that will help you learn techniques to help manage the anxiety.

Do keep posting here and let us know how you are doing we are always here to listen and support you.

Keep up the good work and take care.

Hibee
