Hi Kerry. I tend to agree with you - asthma medication is not the same as anti-depressants or tranquilizers. I take asthma medication but would not dream of spending the rest of my life on anti-depressants etc. Keep fighting, you sound strong and positive and I agree "we only get one life so let's try and lvie it". Keep fighting!!


Nic

Hiya, my doctor tried to convince me to take medication by saying that asthma sufferers have to rely on medication for the rest of thier lives, therefore it's not that bad, but i don't think it's the same at all. I keep thinking 'it's not a bad thing to live the rest of my life in my home town' but that's the very thing i've been striving against since i was a child!! I'm gonna keep fighting it, I WANNA SEE THE WORLD!!! We could only be here once, may as well do and see as much as we can!! Saying this, i still can't leave my house alone!! Easy to say, not to do, but i'm working on it, DON'T GIVE UP!!

Hello all




Its been a long time since i have posted on this site.or indeed visited the chat roomAlthough i do regulary check this forum for updates




I just thought i would say hello to one and all,my anxiety is about the same as it ever has been.ive come to conclusion that i will always be like this and always be a shy quiet type,someone said to me the other week 'try not to look on it as a weakness' well that is damn hard to do,but i believe it is true




Some people are born with Asthma,some are not,some are born anxious people some are not,i believe its just something we have to cope with as best as can...hmmm i didnt explain that too well,what im trying to say is just because we are anxious people it doesnt make us weak,its part of who we are just like people with other problems,




Oh by the way Nic im in your new chatroom now very posh,i like it..one thing though..its EMTPTYYYYYY!...Someone come join me please




I thank you..inane ramble over
