Hi i have suffered for many many years and have tried every thing going to rid my self of this hell, but sadly all that half works is aceptance of anxiety , I have read most self help books , some do actually make me laugh , because the auther seems to be unaware that its not as easy ' just to face it and carry on' the only self help i found useful was claire weeks I hope you all get well but in my experince if you dont understand anxiety it will not go , and if you suffer with health anxiety like me you have to be strong and accept it just for what it is

I found that understanding how anxiety works helps, it is just the racing mind making up stories.....

No- one can predict what is going to happen in the next ten minutes, ten hours, ten weeks, ten years...

Yet the mind can worry about it!........worth a laugh....

Find something that induces calm and your worries will subside...

Best wishes
