Hi everyone, just reading some of your very brave stories and thought to myself " you guys sound like a great bunch of people who I can relate to" I have Anxiety...I said it. In the past I've been ashamed of it, pulling back to the dark box I keep it locked in. Until recently, I was able to pretend I didn't have it, I must have all the heart,lung, brain tumor and cancer instead of Anxiety. I still think I have heart problems with all the palpitations I get and tightness around the chest, shoulders and jaw. Anyway back to the real reason I have Anxiety, my mum has just been diagnosed with. Pulmonary Fibrosis. My wonderful mum is my world along with my husband and son. I'm not handling her disease very well at all....so sorry to go on. I'm doing my absolute best to look after her and deal with Anxiety as well....Anyway I hope to get to know you all and help with your issues as well.

Hi CG

Just popped in to see how you and your mum are going. I hope both of you are reasonably okay. How are the palpitations going? I used to get those really bad..they were scary...There is a great little book called "Self help for your nerves" by Dr Claire Weekes. She was a psychiatrist that actually suffered withe anxiety disorder. She wrote the book in plain english and its still in print..It was a huge mega help for me to find my way out of anxiety

I will keep an eye out on your thread if you need anything 🙂

Be gentle to yourself
