Its really wonderful having your support.
Feeling just a little bit better this evening, tho I know not to take that for granted and that tomorrow morning will be something else.
A break from the constant exhausting anxiety is such a relief, too. I find relaxation tapes only help while I'm actually doing them (and sometimes feel even worse than before when get up). I get some comfort from a bath, but still stomach rock hard with anxiety. In 'good old days' when I was this bad before, had a small amount of tranquillisers to use when overwhelmed, just for a couple of weeks. Never had any problem coming off them, but I appreciate the problems others have had. Pity, tho!
Walking and singing (croakily, when sure no-one can hear me) as attempt to deal with it doesnt make me feel worse (except that when out walking lack of distractions from overstated worries). But doesnt really seem to help either. Any other suggestions v welcome, tho I realise there may not be other things (and certainly no wonder cure).
But mainly wanted to say *Many thanks for being there* to you all.
