Debilitating illness that can make you a prisoner...

This just make me think back to my first doc appointment when the subject was first brought up.

I had NO idea what was happening with all the shaking and bad thoughts and my doc had made me an appointment to speak to a lady to help talk me through what might be wrong.

The lady (it turns out was a therapist appointment maker) said the word anxiety and i can honestly say i had no idea what it really was.

I thought anxiety was worrying about something. About whether the sun will shine for the bbq or worrying you dont have enough cash for the parking meter. I had never imagined it was like this.

When 'the lady' explained what it was i said i'm not that scared of anything though and she said what about a fear or fear and i burst into tears lol. I felt like a fruitloop but having started to cry no real reason realised i wasnt as 'normal' as i thought i was.

Fear of fear...couldn't even make that up could we?!?

Here's my 10 words;

Hell on earth, searing pain, hopelessness, a glimpse of heaven.

Michael, if something is said that nasty, I'm sure it wont be ment, we're all a bit sensitive, and can sometimes initially read things wrongly, and react far too quickly.

Keep posting, we are all in this together

Wishing you well
