An oldie, but goodie

I just came across this-I had printed it out from medhelp years ago. It is so true I think. Ironically the orginal poster was "skippy heart".

1. You are sure you are going to die, and every beat brings about other symptoms like light headedness, breathlessness high-blood pressure (all anxiety related)

2. You go to the ER a few times. They bring you in right away, then send you home telling you there's nothing wrong (they're right)

3. You go to a cardio, get a full workup (and pass with flying colors)

4. You don't believe the doctors, keep having anxiety attacks, read everything about PVCs on the internet every day, become agoraphobic, and try to isolate every trigger (there is no one trigger except anxiety)

5. You try to will them away (you can't cause you are still thinking about them)

6. You become anxious thinking your PVCs are going to get worse (and they do since anxiety is the one common denominator)

7. One day you get pissed off, and go about your life regardless of PVCs figuring who cares if they kill you since you are at your wits end anyway (you live)

8. You start to realize nothing bad actually happens to you while having PVCs, start going about your normal life,and start ignoring them and forgeting about them (they don't go away yet)

9. You start really forgetting about them (they never go away completely, but occur much less often and you don't care about them anyway)

10. You troll the forums to help other people
