For some people, including myself this form has helped but it has also hurt us in our recovery. I seem to get on here everyday to try to see how people are doing but I end up spending too much time on the computer and then obviously I get anxiety because this form has so many critical cases. Now I see that it isn't just me, not to call people out but you can read people's post and realize that the anxiety from this injury is killing them.*

*I am still trying to figure out how to control my anxiety, posting this message is one way. I am not sure why this form is so addictive after we hurt ourselves, all I want to do is read more about symptoms and see how people are doing. But it seems that our self discipline or the realization that we are hurting ourselves further by causing anxiety, isn't enough to stop.

So I would say to people who get on this form everyday freaking out about their symptoms, go rest, get of the internet, go mediate. You already know what you need to do to get better. Mark in Idaho has posted it every time. Quiet Rest, Reduce Anxiety, Get good Sleep, A little bit of Exercise, An extensive Vitamin Regimen and listening to your body. Now I need to follow this advice as much as the next person, but its time to realize that reading more stories, doing more research, getting more anxiety is just hurting you..So stop hurting yourself and do everything to get better. STop the anxiety depression pattern.
