I wish all Forum members, old and new, a happy New Year.

Well folks we made it, right?

To quote from Invictus " Bloody but unbowed"

No matter what Anxiety/ Panic Disorder has thrown at us....and by God, it's hurled the worst, we're all still standing and we're all  still there for each other.

I hope you can all take courage from that as I am trying to do

I hope you can all put what has gone in the past  firmly behind you and concentrate on today with renewed energy

I hope you can all learn to put away fear of the symptoms and

acccept  that the symptoms in themselves cannot harm you

And I hope you can understand that you are brave, wonderful people who, despite your own sufferings, go that extra mile for each other

I am proud to be a member of this

Forum, proud to be part of that kindness, that unselfishness

And if I may quote Invictus again?

That poem ends

I AM THE MISTRESS OF MY FATE

THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL

It might have been written for us and us alone

Happy New Year, to one and all

Hugs Helen xx

    Helen 

    All the very best for the coming New Year.

    The only Anxiety here in the North is if we are left standing tommow morning.

    We are having our next doors dog around later, while the Master is sliding down the wall. All we have here is a couple of Sausage Rolls and my favourite Malt Whiskey. Some nice strong Ales will also help as well

    Happy New Year Helen, Lang my your lumb reek.

    BOB

    Dear Helen

    Thank you for your message. I, too, am so glad this forum exists. It always remind me that I am not in this alone and that there are many more out there feeling exactly the way I do (unfortuneatly!) However you are right in saying that anxiety never hurt anybody and we are all still here standing. I have enormous admiration for the bravery of all of us who have to face the difficulty of anxiety every day. Well done us!! And wishing you all a much better stress free 2017 with love and compassion.

    All the best, Athol xx
