Well done , you did it, praise yourself, you done well. It does get easier, but you cannot give in, go for a short bus ride tomorrow, and i bet its more comfortable for you. Try and have a snack when you feel drained and a rest. But you done well, and keep telling yourself, I done well today and I'm proud of myself. Give yourself a treat, and stay positive. :yesyes:

Yes it does get easier. And the feeling like something is physically wrong with you is just your brain trying to tell your body to sort its self out. Trawl the internet for ANY evidence that anxiety if physically harmful and you will find one 52 word article from the 1908 new york post that says somebody suggested that it might be harmful. You wont find the evidence for the simple reason that there isnt any. No matter how bad if feels its chemical not physical.
