Hi I'm very new to all this so will apologise in advance if I don't make sense. I suppose I've always suffered with anxiety but for the last two months it's become unbearable. I worry about everything, my partner came home tonight and said he'd made a small mistake at work and i am now obsessed that he will lose his job, if something goes wrong at my work I automatically think people will think it's my fault and that I'll get sacked. My daughter is 15 and got drunk at the weekend so I spend hours thinking I'm a terrible mother. I have had symptoms of tingling face and hands, dizziness, and for the last couple of weeks I've had a lump in my throat that sometimes feels as though I'm choking. I am now starting to worry that this is getting pretty serious as it is affecting every minute of my life. My partner tries to be understanding but gets rather frustrated and doesn't fully understand and gets quite baffled (I have accused him of having an affair because he took his phone upstairs) I have made an appointment at the Drs for next week. Can anyone give me any pointers on something that may help that doesn't involve medication? I'm not good with tablets and if I read the side effects I will convince myself I am having them, if that makes sense! I'm sorry that this is a long post but I'm at my wits end and just want this horrible feeling to go away.
