Don't be sorry!! That's what we are here for.

Hey hun did I put this in your head?? From our talk the other day about the jaw thing?? If I did im sooo sorry

Are you sure that you are not clenching your jaw? Try to keep an eye on that your jaw is supposed to be relaxed.

It's very well anxiety.

But hun you have got to at least try to breath through it. Download a meditation app and DO IT. It's for your own good.

And try to do things to distract you. Pay attention to detail have you tried the mandala coloring pages I've told you about?

Try to find a hobby: make-up, art, knitting ( I have a cousin who's 17 and is the best knitter I know, uses it for her anxiety and it's calmed her loads), Clay is the best therapeutic thing you can work with, music, an instrument, something that engages your mind.

Don't apologise for posting. I can't stop writing things either cos every time I read what someone has put I think, oh my god, I get that aswell. That's the thing with anxiety and panic I suppose,,, people seem to experience a lot of the same symptoms but that's why it can be reassuring to write it on here cos you know your not going crazy and at a time when you think your the only person on earth that feels like this,,, then you realise your not!. I get the tightening of my throat aswell. I've sat sometimes and pulled the skin on my neck in the hope it opens up my airways ( bonkers, I know...but I've tried allsorts). I do find sometimes that I get a bit of relief from getting on the sofa and sitting upside down with my legs in the air and my head just hanging down (where your legs would go), over the edge. And just letting you head flop. (If you know what I mean). It does sometimes work for me. It may look a bit daft but you will do anything to try to stop that feeling. Hope you find relief x
