It's been some time smile I just wanted to say hello
I hope you guys are doing fine. Sorry for not visiting the forums much lately, but need to put my life back on track again and actually have to find an apartment and move :P

I started working again (I never thought I would miss working this much lol) and this job thing came just in time to occupy my mind after I went through things with my ex and divorced.

I think working regularly helps much with Health anxiety and panic related problems. Though from time to time I still can find small health issues which worry me. The moment HA finds an opening, it comes to surface. I never thought it would be that hard to treat Illness Anxiety Disorder, as my doctor said once "it's not much known but HA is one of the most 'hard to deal with' psychological disorders out there".

Recently I worry much about my #2's color which is a quite dark brown actually. Not black I am sure of that but I've never seen this dark brown in my history of toilet visits. So of course my mind tells it must be something horrible since it has been going like that for 2 weeks or so now.
Why can't I brush it off by just saying "oh it's food related of course" like my mom and ex do?

<3 here you go, I know you wanted to know details about my poop, so I told you.

Rr!!!!!,

***Jumps up and down excitedly to see your name!!!*** (and yes, even with all the details, lol!)

You have been through a lot recently! Fantastic job on making the necessary changes to ensure you are happy, healthy, fulfilled and moving forward in your personal journey in all aspects of your life. Going in new directions is both exciting and scary at times...but also needed to ensure we are growing and striving to do and feel our best.

I am so proud of you for all that you are doing and that you have kept a positive attitude though it all. You are very strong, and yet such a kind soul...

Keep working towards your HA management goals. I am as well. It is a process, but we have each other for support always, right? I know that you are fine and that what you are worrying about is not an indication of any problem...but I know convincing our own anxious brain is another thing altogether...so use your positive mantras, and remind yourself that you have been in this place previously, and all was well then...and that it will be now.

Post when you can...and when you want to. We are always so happy to hear from you my friend. smile

((((Biggest Hugs))))

Thank you very much dear S.C. <3

I always appreciate your insightful and helping comments, you are such a kind soul yourself smile

We grow up with everything we experience, I agree. I found that helping the ones in need of help, actually gives a lot of treatment to us (that's what's happening with my ex now I think, we basically help each other).
And I mean like helping as in the simplest form like listening to their troubles, giving them courage, etc.
This is what we all do here in HW smile treating our anxiety by supporting others.

Keep up the good work <3 love ya!

Hi Rrakkma

Great to hear from you and pleased to hear things are better with you.

Your right health anxiety is a tough one to deal with but I know you have the skills to do so so keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress.

Rr,

You are spot on when you say that supporting others also benefits ourselves! I have always, and will continue to say that I get much more out of being a member/mod here than what I put in!

*Grabs up muffins and repays with garlic/cheese biscuits* (which I really made the other night...ermergerd delish!!!!)
