I apologize

[dolfnlvr]

With regard to the fiasco associated with Yoshi's post the other day.  I stated that I would be leaving this board, and I guess it was a bit of a temper tantrum.  I apologize to all who were involved with that post.  

I was defensive, because I'm tired of being told that these things are "all in my head."  I know that they won't kill us, or necessarily harm us for that matter, but before experiencing these things, I had no history of anxiety or other connected issues usually associated with a mental component that can cause PVC's.  

I've re-read the posts, and I overreacted.  I am sorry.  Mainly I apologize to Yoshi.  You were asking for encouragement and I helped to fuel the fire that drew us away from your request.  I sincerely hope you are feeling better.

I completely agree with lulama & Yoshi....

dolfnlvr I am so glad you haven't left us!  I wrote that to you in that "other" thread.... and you have nothing to feel bad about! In fact I am impressed at the composure we have all exhibited given the circumstances lately! However, it does look like we lost Celeste which is sad... she spent a lot of time here giving ppl advice, info & support... hopefully she will pop in & see that the *problem* has been taken care of & join us once again! Celeste if you are reading this I really hope that you do.

Lets all be kind, there for one another & put that mess behind us!
Have a great night ladies.

You don't have anything to apologize for.....IMHO, you reacted normally to a poster  who loves to goad people who have PVC's, and have the gall to post their fears on the arrhythmia board

Hey..glad to hear that you aren't leaving...I personally didn't think it was a tantrum. I just thought you didn't want to hear the negative things that were being said...but nonetheless, I am glad you are back!  I had a good day yesterday..as in I didn't feel any HARD thumps that I had been having everyday...but I still thought about it ALL day....It is frustrating..and I too get irritated at times, so you don't have to apologize in my opinion.  I have been reading some posts and that has been helping me with some acceptance..I am on a new anxiety med and I think that has been making feel a little nervous, but the dr said it would at first but to hang in there and let it work...plus there has been a change of hours in my schooling and it has been taking a toll on me....I really think that the PVC/Anxiety thing is a vicious cycle..it feeds off one another..it is a very hard cycle to break...that is what I am trying to work on...it has been a 15 yr process thus far.  You would think I would have it all figured out...but you are not alone...looking forward to positive updates...

take care
Yoshi

Hey, it's OK. We all have bad days, bad moments. PVC's are real but we respond to them differently. I'm a lucky one in that I've had arrhythmias all my life so of course, I'm used to them. I get a bit annoyed when someone gets a new arrhythmia, goes to the doc and is told right off the bat that it's anxiety. They should at least check it out. Anyway, glad you're feeling better and glad you'll still be visiting.
