I've had my best day so far in 10 weeks.
I don't want to count my chickens before they have hatched but today this group and my own fb support group have kept me so occupied that the intrusive thought that has been bothering me for 10 weeks is almost gone,it's like a cop able faint hum.
So too all of you here and in my own group,I thank you from the bottom of my heart xxxx

Its always nice to let your feeling out too and does you good to talk to people who understand what you are going through.
Glad you have had a good day today, hope you have many more :-)

The results came back negative for everything and I presumed the anxiety would just go but I was a bit far gone with anxiety so I was triggered again by my own mouth. Sounds silly I know but my mouth was dry( meds) and I got this thought that my teeth felt uncomfortable and my mind wouldn't let go of it. Today the thought has just been a hum so I know now that in the next few days it will float away.
Also had the thoughts many people get with anxiety about thinking I could hurt somebody. They don't bother me because I've had them before and I got past it and I know that they are just the thoughts of a anxious mind. I can shrug them off and they don't stick.
Anxiety is terrible for them thoughts xxx

It really is a relief to let them things and thoughts go.
Here you know that whatever you say is not going to shock anybody. They have either have them feeling,thoughts themselves or read other posts that are similar.
I hope you are doing ok too
I think we join these group when we need reassurance and are at our lowest and I'm so glad I did xxx

Its good to keep occupied to get your mind off all the thoughts, the last three days i have gone on some nice long walks even when I haven't felt like it, I still went, and Im glad I did because its good exercise and it does make you feel better.
I start my new job soon, been worried that I am going to feel too ill to go, but to be honest I am hoping that it will do me good and take my mind off all of this.
Lovely speaking to you Gillian, always here if you want a chat x

Oh Tina,that did make me giggle. It's horrendous isn't it. I mean eyeballs and teeth..what's that all about?lol
I told my mum and thought she would have me locked away but I needed to tell somebody...She was so understanding and said "because my teeth are the thing I'm the least happiest about,the anxiety zoomed in on that". I guess she was right in some respects.
i just kept thinking so negative though,like " ok so if I was frightened of something external I could avoid coming into contact with that trigger but how the hell can I run away from my own mouth"!?? Lol
It even sounds stupid when I write it and say it to myself,even though the thoughts still there,it isn't bothering me now,I'm over it :D

They do say to see these thoughts with humour but I think that you can only start to so that when you are at the other side of it..like say it comes up in a few months,u can shrug it off and laugh about that silly thought. It's not so easy to do when you are in that anxious spin is it??? Xx
