A Thank You...

[Baby_Sham]

I haven't been on here for a while but felt like checking in and saying thanks.
Not to anyone in particular, just to Answerbank in general and all those that have offered help, support and advice over the past few years.

I've posted about my anxiety over the years, I've posted on the 'Night Night' threads, mainly when I've been depressed or drunk, and I've posted asking for relationship advice, which I've always listened to and taken on board, but never really done anything about.

Anyway, I'm pleased to say that after a pretty horrid few months, I've completed a two week medically assisted detox and am now three weeks alcohol free :-)
More importantly, I am also three weeks anxiety free! :-) :-)

I know three weeks isn't that long and it's still early days, but I'm pretty chuffed and believe this is now the start of better things for both me and my children.

So yeah, thanks! :-)

I can't begin to describe what a difference it's made, already.
I would literally spend weeks in my house, with this dreaded fear that something awful would happen if I dared to leave the front door. It sounds absolutely crazy saying that now, but I was crippled with anxiety, paranoia and fear... of what I have no idea.

All those years I used alcohol as my 'emotional crutch', telling myself it was the only thing that would bring me out of it, and now it's become apparent that it was the main thing causing that overwhelming anxiousness.

[boxtops]

well done, baby - and you know we're still here if you need us - keep it up :-)

[woofgang]

oh well done you. What you have done wasnt easy, you are a heroine.

[vakayu]

Congratulans Baby Sham I am sure it was hard going for you at times but well worth it,glad you are seeing things more clearly now,and all the best for the future.

[Baby_Sham]

Thanks all :-)

I will definitely still be posting on here. I've got myself a couple of hobbies now, so I'll be needing lots of advice on decorating and wood stuff! :)

[Captain2]

Wood stuff? That'll be trees then! ;-))

[boxtops]

Brilliant! - and if it helps, I've been there with the anxiety stuff so I can share your delight at cracking it. If you have a waver, don't worry, just take it in your stride - all WILL be well!

(and it's not crazy, it's the reallest thing in the world when it's happening, even if it makes no sense at all to the outside world!)

[Baby_Sham]

Ha! Yes, that's it, I've decided to tackle my fear of heights and become a tree surgeon! :D

No, I'm making tables from old cable drums.
I have a vision... we'll just have to see how that vision works out! :P

[ummmm]

Well done....x
