Hello lunajohnson
Thankyou for your contribution to the forums and welcome
Just a note if I may....'Fighting' anxiety isnt helpful. Fighting anxiety only increases the fear and flight response thus exacerbating the symptoms that the person is experiencing in the first place.
Calm and true acceptance is very helpful as it decreases the adrenaline flow which in turn decreases the anxiety levels. Of course with acute anxiety levels seeing our GP is the first step towards recovery.
When anxiety begins to have a detrimental impact on our ability to function effectively on a day to day basis then we require to see our GP as soon as we can to prevent possible long term complications.
Thanks LJ and Merry Christmas to you
my kindest always
