Hello :)

ok, I am at home a lot alone and the thought of that alone can make you panic! It's the what if's ... what if I die or what if I need something, who will help etc, right?

Do you have any relaxation techiques such as a cd or book? I meditate a lot when I feel anxious. I hate the heart jumping out of my chest and sweating but breathing slowly helps soooo much, it stops the symptoms.

Will anyone be around besides your mum? You do know you will be ok? It is the symptoms that scare us so much is all.

I also have a hard time being by myself - I try to distract myself as best as I can. Do things on the computer, watch tv, read, go outside for a walk or take a drive. Anything to keep my mind off of the What if's? I know it is hard - I have a hard time with it, also.
