    Same . HFD has helped me understand a lot. Very constructively
    good. I'm just paranoid lately as it seems several people have taken some of my posts the wrong way.

    You seem to be assuming that lastexitlondon is completely clueless and has never been to therapy, which is not the case.
    At some point you have to help yourself as well.  Coming to a bands website and constantly saying your not getting help/better is not going to change your situation.  Why keep going to your GP thinking you have dementia when he's saying you don't, yet he is convinced he has dementia.  If he doesn't trust what his dr is saying...why come here and complain.

    Im not complaining. You clearly don't understand what health anxiety even is..i find some of the things you say really out of touch. Why does anybody visit these pages and start a thread about anything if this is the attitude
     You don't have to read or comment.
    I am an intelligent adult human who has a story or journey like everyone else if i want to come here i will. I suggest you post your story in your thread . 
    You seem very narrow minded and one dimensional. Thats good if it works for you
     But I've seen you post many places equally as single minded. Which is your choice but please don't insinuate or presume you know what i NEED or what helped you MUST help me.

    You know, you've got a right to your opinion, but this is not the thread to be doing what you're doing. This is a support thread, and one that's obviously used at least partly as a form of catharsis, not one where it's appropriate for you to question why people are seeking support here and saying they're complaining. Read the mood man.

    Im going to sleep now. You know ive come across many people and kinds on my work and life and ive understood more the worse i have become. I actually feel sad when people say basically jog it off because i did. It says a lot about that person. Anyway like i said before and you did pj soul its about support. If you can't do that don't bother being here. Halts maul . Take your waste elsewhere. Goodnight all

    I think it's also about venting and getting insight from others here who have been (or still are) in dark places.  If even that is beneficial for just a bit, for just a few moments, I can't begrudge anyone that, especially when they're making a point of trying to better themselves.

    we had another poster here that eventually got banned a while back who did what you are doing in a mental health thread. derailed it by basiclaly doing what you are doing. please stop. this is not helping. I have spoken to lastexit on these forums and in pm. he has been doing an immense amount of work trying to get better. 

    I have been in his shoes, to an infinitely smaller degree. GP's and specialists who basically tell you that nothing is wrong. really? nothing is wrong when I'm doubled over in pain, unable to eat, sleep, function, etc? that's what he's getting. he's gotten so much help, in fact, that he is starting to get turned away. you simply have no idea what he's going through. 

    I know you may think you are helping, but you are absolutely going about it the incorrect way. it is counterproductive to the idea of this thread. read the title FFS.

    Why do you not trust your dr.?  Listen, I had a serious medical alarm, which could signal cancer, I had to see a specialist to find out what was wrong, I asked my dr. point blank "do you think its cancer", he said no it's not ... I choose to have faith in him, I was proven right to have faith in him.  How old is your dr.?  A general practitioner is not where you seek mental health therapy.

    My sister went to six different specialists who all said "it was nothing", and then the 7th doctor discovered the cancer - by that time it had reached her lymph nodes and she required surgeries, skin graphs, the works, and she almost lost her arm. If my sister had trusted any one of those first 6 and highly recommended doctors she'd be dead right now. I guess this is another example proving that your own medical experiences don't necessarily apply to those of others.
    Again, lastexitlondon has been dealing with this for 20 years, and has absolutely not just left it to a GP. That said, sometimes going to the GP is the right option to choose during crisis moments, depending on the resources immediately available.

    I wish I had an answer for you Last Exit. It sounds like you have already tried so hard. My own personal experience knows you can't just wish it away and distractions are temporary. You do have a partner and kids that love you and a lot of people here hope you keep fighting for yourself. Heart and thoughts  sent out your way.

    which is more disconcerting and disrupting to you? the believed impairment or the worry and anxiety surrounding the impairment?

    One of the best antidotes to the despair of anxiety I know of is to find something new to be as interested  in as much possible and hopefully something to actually get excited about- be it a new hobby, getting into music not listen to before, delving into a new subject in reading, reinvesting time in a charitable (or for me, environmental) cause- anything that stimulates the brain chemistry in a healthy way.  And there is no end to interesting subjects to submerge oneself into.

    I ve been thinking the problem here for me atm is that i do not see this as anxiety at all my symptoms stop me living. I have desire to be "doing" again. But im stopped and its worsening is distressing me so very much i can't function. I do not see anxiety but i know i have fear. Its so hard to do anything with confusion and poor memory. Im baffled totally baffled as to what i can do to live again like this if possible
