AirNomad 10 Posted February 2, 2017 Wow, that is so weird to see that AZ is gone... My anxiety/hypochondria has been very under control the past 8 months or so, but once in a while I would still go there for some support when needed. I had no idea all the banning and stuff was going on. I found most of the members helpful, especially a certain few, though there were some that were very less than helpful. I am glad there is another resource when we need it - I just joined this forum. My screen name at AZ was AirNomad. I remember seeing Greend, Bobnat, and CEH1354 over there, all of whom were always very helpful 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaMarie 1 Posted February 2, 2017 I was also a member for about a year in AZ.. met and chatted with a bunch of amazing people and hope they are all doing well.. I stopped going there because I had my anxiety in check but I just went to log in and it's no longer there.. glad I found this site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbhaga01 29 Posted February 4, 2017 I'm an AZ transient. Same username. I visited on and off for years, and I was kinda bummed when I found out it was gone. I just wish the chat on here was a bit more populated. I miss chat rooms, and it was awesome for AZ (and you guys) to hold onto something as dated as that.

My username was the same it is here, Blu74. Shocked that the board is totally gone. Been trying to find out what happened. Been looking for another similar board/forum for support & such. Got to know so many people on there, sad that it's gone. Checking in... I think I remember you. Same user name as it was on AZ. Been a member since 08.

TwitchyCanuck 2 Posted February 5, 2017 I haven't read this whole thread, but wanted to chip in that I used to be a member on AZ as well. I can't say I have any idea about any of the drama or conflict that happened there, but really got through some of my worst times with anxiety through the use of the forums and chat rooms. I can honestly say that being able to hang out in the chat rooms and interact with people got me through some really terrible late night attacks. I'm sad to see AZ gone, but glad that a place like this is available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAD 0 Posted February 7, 2017 WOW, I can't believe AZ is gone. AZ helped me sooo much, since 2014. I am glad i found this place and hope to catch up with some old friends and make some new friends here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to be sort of an active member of Anxiety Zone, and when I couldn't find the page anymore, I came across this forum when I was googling what happened to it. I'm really sad that it's gone. I found that every time I needed help with my health anxiety, there was always someone there willing to listen and reply to my posts. Never experienced any rude or condescending members. When I was feeling okay, I would still read other members' posts or reply when I had some input or just back read my own posts to remind me of some of the inspiring things fellow members shared. I remember you, Ceh. I think you replied to one of my posts before. I remember Mark, Lindsay, ihadc****r, bintenn. Oh I forget the rest. There was this one guy who was always patient in replying to me. In great detail. I can't remember his display name anymore. By the way, mine was mla1209. Looking forward to spending more time here. I'm 'Ihadc****r'. Not sure why it won't let the letterings show but I..... had..... c a n c e r..... and just found this page today. Freaking out again about probably nothing.

I did that because we had a couple of members who frequented the chat room and the C word triggered them badly. I could probably remove the censor now if everyone agrees it isn't needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaffeineQueen 2 Posted February 10, 2017 Anxiety zone actually holds a special place in my heart. I was able to come forward with a sexual assault that occurred because I documented what happened on anxiety (anxiety zone dates and time stamps posts) and my story coincided with another woman's. I was sad to see it go. I frequently posted in the HA forum and was eventually diagnosed with a rare disease (go figure), I was greeted with nothing but support. Hoping I find that here... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blu74 14 Posted February 18, 2017 Really nice to see many familiar names from AZ. I did more to try and help others on there but I still have my anxiety/hypochondria issues. Right after I found the board gone I was thinking how bummed I was because I had a question for everyone about a health issue that had been really gnawing at me & worrying me....as it usually goes for many of us. Unfortunately I don't have contact info for anyone else who was there, wish I did so I could alert them about this board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ihadcancer 321 Posted February 18, 2017 I wasn't going to AZ very often anymore. I wasn't needing to. I'd also blocked two guys who were extremely rude toward me in every answer. It was hard for me to answer them politely when they knew 'exactly what I needed to do' but were on multiple meds, seeing psych's weekly and super pushy. No matter where I posted, one would answer and then 'sign off' and then the other would 'sign on' and agree with the first. I actually thought it was one guy with a dual membership. Anyhow I blocked them long before the board disappeared, and then a friend told me they'd both been banned. I don't know why but it was well before the board banned a lot of people. I like what Gilly and the others have done here. There's no pushy 'do it my way' type people and there's a real sense of 'I CARE' in the answers given. Well done guys! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinky92 44 Posted February 18, 2017 So glad to see you here, Ihadcancer. And many others too. I read all your posts, no matter the issue. They always help me, especially the GI stuff, which has such an evil hold on me. Thank you for spending time and in such a caring manner. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kitty86 5 Posted February 23, 2017 So glad to read I'm not the only upset by this. I made some good friends there and some posters were so helpful. Sometimes I would just reread users post history even if they didn't post there (Pan and Floridaguy and Sixpack come to mind). And having a bad flare up I went to see if I could post and it's gone. I feel totally lost and disconnected from a support group. I didn't post often but when I did they were so great over there. I'm hurting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
