[warkie]

When i feel normal and well and have no symtxoms with the anxiety it feels weird,it sounds strange but it feels weird when i feel normal,then i start to think about it then get my symtoms bk,is this normal? x

Yes, warkie, it is. To go looking for symtoms when feeling better sounds ridiculous and in physical illness it would be, but this is not physical. In a way you 'miss' your symptoms. It may be that you felt more comfortable in your suffering because, at least, you knew what was happening. Now you are at a loss and are anticipating, almost inviting the symptoms back. Take way a woman's handbag and she will instinctively reach for it when leaving, even though it is not there. This is how you are at the moment. BUT, your signs are good because you are 'glimpsing' recovery. To be without them if only for a short time is the start. Whatever stage of recovery you are at 'setbacks' are almost certainly to occur and we should tackle them in the same way as before, with total acceptance. Keep up the good work. Regards. jonathan.

Hi Warkie. Yes I get similar glimpses myself. I find them encouraging, and say that soon, this is how I will feel all the time. It's the real you trying to re-emerge - and soon it will. I had anxiety for a few months in 2011, and I beat it. Sadly it came back late last year, following a bout of labarynthitis - so I am trying to beat it again!

Can labarynthitis be cured,how do docs find out uve got it? x
