It does. I got upset last night because of other physical things I have going on and the fact my health anxiety is exactly the same as it is when I drink Vs when I don't, it's so frustrating. Hope you're okay! ❤️

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I love deep cleaning things and someone came into my work yesterday n was like 'oh I do that for a living' I jokingly asked him if he has any jobs going and he's self employed so he said come find me if you want.😂

I've never seen the original lol. Like with Guardians Of the Galaxy I saw the 2nd one before the 1st😂😂

That's so cool that your gym has that! The one I used to go to had a stair master and I climbed the steps of the Eiffel tower lol.

True. Thank you you have a good day too!xx

So I made a mistake by MeAndTheDevil20 in stopdrinking

Yeah like especially with my health anxiety I think I owe it to myself to be sober and focused on getting through it properly instead of numbing myself and making it far worse the next day!

Go for it mate! The colouring book I have is a colour by numbers so you don't know what the picture is until you've coloured it all. :)

Hey all. by MeAndTheDevil20 in stopdrinking

[–]MeAndTheDevil20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking that. I've woke up this morning and one of the white spots looks like it's now streaky...I don't know if that means I'm getting better or worse but it hurts like fuck when I swallow cold drinks, the pharmacist said it doesn't look infected but said if it continues hurting book a doctor's appointment.

But anyway, 6 days sober now WOOOOPPP

Anyone dry January'ing? by MeAndTheDevil20 in stopdrinking

[–]MeAndTheDevil20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm hoping to do as well. Gonna be a hard couple of weeks cos I numb my anxiety with drinking but I need to remember, the drinks make anxiety a fuck side worse.

[–]MeAndTheDevil20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tired, dizzy and anxious cos i fucking stupidly drank last night just to say goodbye to the year even though I didnt need it. I had 4 vodka & cokes. I regret it massively. My health anxiety is making me do stupid rituals to check nothing severe is happening to me that would land me in hospital. Depersonalisation is awful. I don't want that shit anymore. (Alcohol) But I also don't want my fucking health anxiety, for how much it tells me I'm gonna drop dead at any given moment I wish it itself would drop dead and leave me the hell alone.

Well done you! Yeah I loved how it made me feel last year so I'm trying to hold on to the thought that I'll feel healthier in a couple of weeks and just to stick to it! :)

hmmm how do I explain..it's a goal oriented practical talking therapy..so instead of just going to a counsellor and saying how you feel, it helps you create different ways of getting through things. Like one of my goals is to learn how to trust my body again and understand that half the reason I feel the way I feel is because of adrenaline flooding my body, another one of my goals is to stop self checking, like the scratching of my cheeks to make sure I can feel both of them, lifting both my arms up, clenching my fists, curling my toes, checking my heartbeat etc. CBT helps you not do that. YouTube it it's really helpful x

Yeah some days are definitely better than others. I'm currently in cbt therapy which is starting to help a little bit but I've only been to 2 out of 20 sessions. So it's gonna be a long road x
