Taking a Break from the Board

[santos271]

Hi guys:I can't swear that I'll stick to it, but I think I'm going to try to take a break from the board for a while. I have generally been feeling pretty good and get really anxious only occassionally. It think it'll be best for me - at least for a while - to try to step back and not think about my health for the time being, or at least not indulge those thoughts. Again, I may have a lapse and be back sooner than expected, but I'm going to try to stay away for a while. I'll be back on at a later date - hopefully to be stronger and more reassuring for others at that point. Take care y'all - feel free to PM me if you need something. Best health to all - NONE OF YOU here has ALS. Joanne

Take Care JoAnne, I Pray God gives you the strength and lets you use the strength that you have to move on. I have tried this many of times and it does WORK..Here is the kicker- It only fails when I come back and read a worrisome post that someone unintentionally has posted. So the VERY IMPORTANT Key is to stay away- (WAY EASIER SAID THAN DONE) I've packed my bags sooooo many times. Infact today I promised I would NOT come back- I do check Pm's...as I dont want to lose touch with people, but this OCD is out of control that I have. My husband has locked me OUT of the computer system at home...If I am at my parents visiting and I disappear for any amount of time- they come looking for me..(they usually find me googling)... IF I go to my brothers to baby sit they disconnect their internet or lock the user code...Isn't that SAD..but thats how this ANXIETY has CONSUMED me. I seriously could go on to Dr.Phil. ITs THAT BAD. Very OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE.Atleast I recongnize it and I am seeking PROFESSIONAL help. I also have put ALL the reassuring links in to my FAVORITES on the computer so when I have my down days I dont have to log on to here- I can just look at those links and be done w/ it.I am w/ you JoAnne on this and again I am going try.... I have WONDERFUL days til I read one Bad post then it puts me back days sometimes WEEKS again! God Bless Stay Strong- you can do this! I can too!! So can everyone else..Lovely
