Wish it would stop

[Anxious2befree]

I have a pain in my neck with a sore throat feeling that just won't stop. I'm going to the doctors tomorrow about it but can't stop panicking I wish the panic would go away and I have reassured myself that I'm ok but it's not working this time. Can anyone help me to stop panicking please ?? Any ideas would be great

Hi dear.  You will be okay.  Keep repeating that.  You will be seeing your doctor

tomorrow.   I understand how difficult it is when in the throws of panic to try

and relax.   But you must before this gets so blown out of proportion.

Find a quiet place, lower the lights, and listen to a relaxation/meditation cd.

If you don't have one, you can find many on You Tube.  10 minutes of deep

breathing and listening to audio and imagery should help relax your body and

mind.  To keep that quiet feeling when you are done, try not to do anything

too stimulating.  Maybe curl up with a good book, a cup of tea (decaf) and a

blanket thrown over your legs or around your shoulders.  The warmth of the

blanket will help relax your mind.  I wish you quiet moments...

Good Luck with your doctor appointment today.

I am sending you quiet thoughts.

Thank you but it's been cancelled as my doctor called in sick so I'm going tomorrow instead.

See, even doctors get sick.  Thanks for the update.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow.  Wish you well.  x
