Yeh I have lost 14kg since Christmas with all this stress. But the good thing is it's not going to last forever. You'll overcome it eventually.

Yes I have experienced this it's so scary and awful:( I sometimes feel like I forget how to swallow when this happens.. I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Hope it goes away soon. Sometimes I think it's more then anxiety and it freaks me out.. Take care!

Terri28 thank u and hope we speak again

Hi Claire

Remember you re not going to die,take deep breaths.follow your breath through your nostrils and out through your mouth.It might help to put a hand on your chest or stomach to feel the breath coming into your lungs and coming out through your mouth.

I know can be scary to go away from home,but try to be strong,you are motivated cause if your children.And rember you won't die just catch up with your breathing it will help

Xxxxxx.
