Glad you posted, the symptoms you describe are so scary. It does sound like an extremely bad patch you are going through. Have you mentioned how you are feeling to your GP? You should be able to get some help and reassurance from him/ her.

Anxiety comes and goes with more or less intensity at times. Sometimes one thing sets it off and if you don't expect it then you panic and set it off spiralling away. Try to just continue with what you're doing and let it pass. I get good and bad days, and when I get bad days after a good spell it tends to make me forget how well I've actually been coping as the panic clouds all reasonable thought. Take it easy and try to relax the best you can and this will pass!

Hi, don't worry, this is normal. You WILL be ok. Go and see your doctor if you haven't already and try to breathe through your panic. This is a truly horrible time but I promise you will get through this low period. Read, watch TV, see a friend, do anything you can while it passes. And it will. I've been there and suffered through it but I promise there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. Take care and be kind to yourself. And remember to breathe! Xxxxxxxxxx
