Hi there

Trust me you would know if you were having a heart attack or a stroke.

This is just a blip - we all get them from time to time I am afraid.

Just hang in there hun. I know with anxiety that everytime we have a bad "feeling" we figure this is it...this is the end. Well it's not. Think back to all of the times you have had "funny" feelings. I am sure like myself it has been a lot. You're still here! You are a very healthy individual that is just going through a rough patch. Don't let your anxiety win. Just stare it in the face and say enough already! :mad: If you need anything, feel free to PM me at any time. I am always here for a chat.

Hang on in there missy,
Think back to the good days you've just had. It's just a blip. Everyone gets them. The butterflies are the tell tale sign of the anxiety. Try and get a good nights sleep.

take care

And don't feel stupid. You aren't. A good technique that I have learned is that you breath in for 4 seconds and exhale for 6. This is good for 2 reasons. First, it controls your breathing and loosens your chest and secondly, you focus on counting instead of anxiety. You can make it thru this little rough spot. I know it. :hugs:

I said somewhere else toight that our body just does things sometimes that is odd but it's nothing serious.

The other night I could have SWORN there was a bug or something on my head crawling about and it wen ton for the WHOLE day..I was out and kept hitting my head..must have looked a right nutcase but there wasn't anything on my head!

I started getting the "c" thoughts and forced myself to shut up and lo and behold,the next dayit was gone.

Pleas please PLEASE try not focus.

I'm positive they will fade.
