Hi Anita, since you replied I expect that you changed your mind.
I was excited to read your thread because you don’t usually post threads. You are a well respected member of this community and I was excited to learn more about you. I feel a kinship with you because we share some unique experiences.
I was not as gentle communicating with you as opposed to other members because I respected you. I did not realise that I would offend you. I have already apologized for this and I am happy to do so again.
You have made significant progress, granted but perhaps your anxiety can be reduced even more.
Even for myself, I would say that my anxiety is much lower than it used to be. But I still experience anxiety on a daily basis at a level where I would benefit from reducing it further.
I’d like to draw your attention to this. I don’t think that you are “sick”. I see you as an equal.
It is however important to acknowledge your anxiety since you have difficulty with daily living activities.
I am sorry that my frankness offended you and that you interpreted it as arrogance and dismissive instead of the intent I intended which was frank speech to a friend.
Oh and the reason I said that your bar for happiness seems low is because personally, I wish you all of the happiness in the world. Why stop at paperwork and doctors appointments? Surely there is even more happiness to experience.
