Hi
Ive been suffering anxiety for a few years now and decided last month to try a hypnotherapist. For a few weeks after i saw her, everything was fine, my life totally changed for the better.
But......here i am again....had a horrible xmas and today has been OMG. So far ive had 2 heart attacks a stroke and a brain tumour.....now i feel like my throat is closing.
This is really taking over my life and im scared to go out in case something bad happens. Whenever i go in a store, i need to get out quickly.

Where has my life gone and how do i get it back? :-(

I know exactly how you feel but you cant let the set backs put you to square one, i have just finished CBT and after it i told myself i will have bad days but i wont let it drown me and drag me under.

Set backs are going to happen with recovery, its wise to accept that setbacks are part of the recovery process, you have been feeling alot better this is great!! now cling on to that feeling, you will get there again!! dont let anxiety beat you.

I am going through a bad patch myself at the moment but i havnt given up hope in the slightest and i dont feel downhearted as i expected the bad times to happen, its just how we deal with them that counts.

Have a dam good old cry to let it all out and tell yourself your not going to let it beat you and get back on your path to getting better xxx
