I would just like to say that finding this site, and chatting to all you
guys, is turning out to be a real blessing! Last week I posted, asking
how do you make a non-emet understand, mainly because my
husband just didn't seem to understand (or particularly want to
understand) what we go through in our daily lives.
Anyway, I finally convinced him to read some of your posts, and
actually got him to read Sages paper, and he now genuinely
understands and is actually quite sympathetic!! Although he may still
make light of it at times, and perhaps will never quite realize the
extent of our fears, I am proud to say that for the first time in our
marriage, he has accepted that I am not "just a hyperchondriac" and
this phobia is a very powerful and serious infliction to me.
We had a really good heart to heart last night and I feel like we got
so much out in the open - I just wanted to let all of you know, that if
nothing else, this site is a fabulous counsellor, and now going to
become an important part of my life!!
Bravo everybody - keep up the good work....
