Hey beaut,

You`ve come to the right place! I`ve been through the same as you and mine started only 2 years ago! I`m virtually back to normal now and currently being weaned off my meds.
I asume you have spoken to your doctor about exactly how you feel and if they offer you help I would take it even in the form of medication. I felt a bit of a failure when I succumbed to Fluoxetine (Prozac) but I`m so glad I did as it has given me my life back.
I no longer worry about my health which is the biggest thing and I actually look forward to things and can`t wait to plan what I`m going to do next!
Try looking around this site there is so much support on here!

Take care xx :hugs:

Hi Lisa

Yes I have been there along with the multiple trips to hospital. It is anxiety and all of the symptoms you describe I can identify with. The only thing I can say is believe that you are not going to die and just attempt to calm down and relax. things wiil settle but will take time, at least 8 weeks for those nerves to calm. Just use acceptance and try some guided meditation CDs.

You wil be better in the future, get somethink to distract your mind and just let time pass.

All the best
Ron
