Hi,

I have not been able to get rid of it and always come back at stressful times, but I have found mindfulness meditation has helped me. Takes a while to be able to do it and be comfortable with it but it really does help if done daily and parasitised all through the day.

Wishing you all the best.

Do you do it on you tube? Not sure how to do it. I think I need a hospital

I use an app called “Headspace” for the meditation.

It’s all guided and tells you exactly what to do.

There are different modules for example, Anxiety, Worry etc.

It teaches you to live in the present and do techniques to do this.

I found it helped me a lot, it doesn’t cure it but manages it if done daily.

The app isn’t free but for me it is well worth it.

Everyone is different but worth a try :)

Thanks. I don’t know why I’m worse. I was doing better. I’m really scared

It’s a horrible thing and so difficult to control. It can take such a long time and lots of hard work to manage and get under control - and yet it’s so quick to take control of us again. :(

I wish you well and I truly hope that you will soon receive some help that works for you. x

Walking used to help but now it doesn’t. I’m not worried about dying. I’m worried about living this way for the rest of my life. I can’t take it
