Hi there and welcome aboard - lovely to see you here.

All of these are common symptoms of anxiety and you can learn to get over them in time.

Have a good read on the website for some info and hopefully you can relate to the posts on here as well.

hi,
dont worry these feelings are "normal" for us sufferers.
i feel like i'm not here alot but i think to myself, hey if im not here then i can be silly, and kinda make a joke out of it!
if you do this it will go away quicker and make u laugh in the process!!!!
dont be afraid hun,
take care

oh and if u feel like u cant breath, try breathing out of the corner of your mouth or thru ure nose!
also singing relaxes the throat muscles, so the feeling will go away quicker
