Hiya ........i will be honest with you i had it in my 20s and it passed quite quickly but my recent episode has been harder but i can say through knowledge of anxiety and what is actually happening and help off here I am learning 2 cope with my thoughts of cracking up and i realise I am not its just my thoughts ..even though they are very distressing they arent lasting aslong as i tell my self this is just a thought and I know im not cracking up .

Have u read Claire weekes books ...i would say get as much knowledge as you can about anxiety it really does help xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It is a bit of a mental breakdown in a way when anx is severe. Have you seen your gp for a little reassurance.
