Just to say still here. Now 4 days in, which is ridiculously short in 'real time' but of course feels like 4 months. But have survived them.
Focussing on 'its only feelings and feelings can't damage me' which is reasonably convincing (still believe will get better, but can't actually imagine it enough to be reassured).
Relaxation tape helps a bit with the anxiety, but only at the time. Havent been to GP yet (ironically, need to wait till
a bit better before can face it- made an appt for Fri which is as late as I can leave it), but wish it was the good old days when you could get a short course of valium/librium (only need a couple of weeks worth...) Anxiety and depression mixed together is such hard work.Still, have got thru a lot of minutes since the last message.
Thanks again for the support
