Hi Potts, please try and believe me when I tell you that you are NOT going out of your mind. You are in a very high abxiety state but it isn not life threatening. You are at home (I assume), and therefore in a SAFE place. I know it's hard but TRY to slow down your breathing and concentrate on the out breaths. You will slowly start to calm down if you do this. Once you have clamed down you can start to think rationally about these problems. I'm speaking from personal experience here - you're not alone and your are fundamentally OK. OK?
