Hi all
Just checking in to say hello, nothing to report though. Tabitha had chicken pox last week which was just a ball as you can imagine, especially as I still had to work but she's better now and back at nursery. I'm off work now for a couple of weeks and plan on doing bugger all! The rib is no better and I'm still worried sick about it but if nothing else it's a good distraction and I'm grateful for them all!
Hope everyone is ok.
With love

Hi all,
Not been up to much but feeling a bit twitchy. Went to my Mum's at the weekend and was faced with going on the motorway or going the long way round, decided I was feeling ok so opted for the motorway - and I was fine! Was aware of the bridges and had some of the thoughts but put a cd on really loud and just sang my head off and it was fine. I was really worried that driving over bridges would set me back like it did last time I tried it - 4/5 months ago but it hasn't happened so I'm really pleased. On the other hand I'm have some health anxiety at the minute. I think it's been triggered by reading about Jade Goody which has really upset me. the thought of what she's going through and knowing she's going to die and leave her children is just awful for her and of course has started the what if's in me. Also started worrying about Tabitha's health and her dying - even her funeral which I've found really upsetting, but I know (at least I hope) that all of us have had these thoughts at some point so I'm just trying to let it go. Apart from that all is well (apart from the ongoing rib saga!) on leave from work at the minute and bored out of my skull, even logged on today to do some work - how sad am I!
Hope everyone's ok.
Love TM x

Hi L
Thats amazing news about your motorway journey, how far we have come. I think its fair to say of all of us in our little group that our main ocds are getting much much better but we are still susceptible to new and bizarre worries.
The worries about Jade and your own health are normal, I have had them too and have been checking for lumps everywhere and I am guessing every mum in the country has been. In fact I am booking in for a smear which is overdue next week.
You do sound well though and its just the dregs left for us all.
Take care
Cokey xx

Hi L
The Jade thing had set me off too... We have written a card for her at Uni for her wedding day - do hope she gets it...
On top of that I was talking to my lecturer today about alcohol. When I told him how much i drink he went grey and asked if I had any kids. I said I had a little girl and he told me then that I was drinking dangerously and that my liver was probably on borrowed time! So i know how it is to start freaking about these things and let the thoughts consume you...
Well done on the motorway journey! You would never have managed that so easily a few months ago - really proud of you hun, you are doing GREAT!!!!

Hey WG,
I'm doing ok thanks. I do pop onto the site most days but am just trying to keep my distance from PNI if you understand what I mean. I know that sounds awful to everyone that's helped me but I don't want it to rule my life as it has for the past 19 months and I don't want anything to trigger me. But in terms of my harm ocd i'm feeling pretty good thanks, it's at a minimum which is really good, however, my health anxiety is through the roof! Most of it I think is down to reading about Jade Goody, it's just so frightening and I image many of us on this site have reacted the same. I'm still having the problem with my ribs, 3 gp's not interested and in the end my arthritis consultant has taken it on himself to try and find out what's going on. I've had another xray and he's then going to discuss with the radiographer how best to image the area without irradiating me any further, will probably be an MRI or CT scan, so I am freaking out about it, of course it's cancer, it can only be cancer - you know the drill! He did say he had no idea what on earth it was as he'd never seen anything like it but didn't think it was anything to worry about and could be a break that is healing out of position or that I've popped a muscle/cartlidge/ligament, something like that. I'm trying to organise a surprise party for Ed's 40th at the minute so that's keeping me busy - distraction is always a help!
How's you, I can see how busy things are, you must be distracted to the hilt at the minute!
Love TM x

Hey TM
Good to hear from you!
It is prefectly understandable that when you are feeling better you want to avoid the boards. Most people dissappear and never come back - but that is a good thing as I think it means they have moved on!
Sorry to ehar you are still waiting news on your ribs! But like I have said before, by virute of the fact that it is taking ages it is clearly nothing serious. I know you will still worry anyway though, so hope you get some news soon xx
What are you planning for Ed's 40th?? My Hubby had his 40th when i was really ill with PNI so never managed anything but a take away curry for him (GUILT). LOL
Let us know the goss on Ed's party when you can..I am intrigued...
Lots of love
WG xx

Hi all
Sorry I've not been about. My computer is dying on it's arse and I'm really wary now to use my work laptop as they're clamping down on inappropriate internet use and loads of people have been sacked for it, web forums are apparently a bit of a no no (although facebook seems to be acceptable for some reason!) so I'm really nervous about coming on, do manage a sneaky look in when I can but am too scared to stay on for any length of time, although today I'm thinking they can go boil their heads!
Hope you're all ok
With love
TM x
