I am in the exact same situation. I could literally throw a party because the physical symptoms are gone however I wish I could just kick these ridiculous thoughts. You are not alone!

Well,your doing a lot better since your physical symptoms are gone. That's a big deal,be proud and confident of yourself! Try to stay busy. If your sitting around doing nothing you have all the time in the world to think. If your busy,you really don't have the time to think so much.

You have no idea how wonderful you just made me feel. I never thought about the fact that having no physical symptoms is progress. I've always just focused on everything that isn't going the way I would like it to. So, thank you!!

Good :) Anxious people never give themselves enough credit, lol. If you focus on the progress you've made, you will have more confidence. More confidence=more things you can do!

Hoorah! an up-beat thread!


This calls for some anxiety jokes...


Q: How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Just one, but the light bulb really has to want to change.


: Statistics say that 1 in 4 people are insane, so take a look at your 3 best friends and if they are all OK, its you!


: There are more men than women in mental hospitals, which just goes to show who’s driving whom crazy.

Lol, dazza, it's always good to get a giggle here!

It's great that you guys have been symptom free and I def agree that you should be patting yourselves on the back. As anxiety sufferers we tend to think the worst and I find that when I am symptom free I worry that it's only temporary and have silly negative thoughts like, "it's going so well for me just now, it will no doubt f*** up in the future". But I am now aware that these thoughts are no use what so ever and I push them to the back and try enjoy myself and do things I wouldn't normally do if I was going through a bad patch. Also when you live with something for so long when it goes away it can be a bit of a shock to the system! But it's all good and long may we all be symptom free with no "what if" thoughts!
