[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 641677, member: 112692"] Hi Amy When I read your post I felt as though I was reading about myself. I too suffer from anxiety and depression ... usually a period of anxiety leads to a period of depression for me. I think it's the anxiety that gets to me most .... feeling anxious, so aware of every little thing going on in your body and thinking you have this illness or that thing wrong with you. You get set in that trap of anxiety which causes physical symptoms, then you worry about the symptoms - you feel lightheaded from the hyperventilating and you think you've got a brain tumour, you feel a bit clumsy or tingly so you think you've got MS, palpitations make you think you've got a heart problem. How I hate this fear of everything and nothing ... I've got a very good book by Claire Weeks on Anxiety, if you can get a copy then do as you get the distinct impression that she must have been through it to be able to write so accurately about it. I think in the book it said that FEAR stands for Forgetting Everything's All Right. I do hope you're feeling better soon ... keep busy. The more you have to do the less you have time to think xx [/QUOTE]
