Everything I read says that to recover you have to lose the fear of symptoms. I have tried so hard but my symptoms are so severe and are 24/7 with no breaks that I am failing.

Then I think if I cant do it I wont ever recover and my mind goes into a spin and I get worse. I obsess with the thought 'What Do I Do - What Do I do" and I stay sick.

HELP!!!!

Stop trying!
It sounds like a vicious circle of panic.
Instead of trying to lose the symptoms, just acknowledge what is happening is nothing serious and just let the anxiety go through you and keep reminding yourself that you are safe and it can't physically hurt you.
I hope this helps :)
