Yes yes yes . This morning I was full of aniexty and on edge trying not to give into the fear and tonight I'm feeling calm and cooking dinner . It's just a roller coaster and I don't know when it will end . Looks like your on the ride too 🎢

Well I haven't done anything spectacular..I have spoken to a friend though...it feels like it's loosening it's grip on me ..Good riddance and maybe see you tomorrow morning 😊

😂at least we can make light of it 

That's the thing I see in a lot of posts on here ..amidst all the suffering there is also humour . Just goes to show we are not totally lost 😊

Just can't get off the blooming roller coaster good job I'm at the back might need a sick bag soon 😄

Unusually this one decided it wasn't going to give up so easily and pay me another visit ...the tight chest again which makes me feel like im suffocating also radiates to the back and then spreads to the back of the neck and then covers my head its like im being encapsulated with a device that's squeezing me ,my thinking is dumbed down also ..I've read posts where people have tight chests but has anyone had this all consuming sympton ..taken a magnesium and had a salt bath hope they work 🤞

Unusual for me a bad night and woke in a panic tight chest etc ..this morning it feels difficult to manage and not sure if this carries in how much more I can do this ..thought I was seeing the light !!

You’ve got it! I know it can be so tough but it won’t always be this way. Waves and windows can so cruel. 

Thank you generally I've been so strong about this but it's starting to get to me a bit and wondering if it's withdrawal or something else

Oh no, don’t go there. Thats part of the evil of all this, convincing its all you. No second fear remember. Can only be one thing then….

I think this tight chest will be my downfall.  Trying to do all the coping skills but nothing is working yes the second fear is creeping in now the stomach is joining in and feels acidy...not a good morning!

Im so sorry @Beehive I hear you, this fear like the other symptoms in those horror waves intensifies everything to an unbearable level, we lower our heads and let the wave pass over us and not sweep us away, it's incredibly tough I know but we are strong enough to handle it.

Thinking of you and hoping you feel better soon.

Thank you dear @Beehive we all have validity to our suffering, it's a subjective experience so I'm sure when it hits you it feels just as unbearable as it does for someone else.

Wishing you a peaceful, pleasant and symptom-free day as possible 💕

@Fullhealing Hello I'm actually awake and trying to reassure myself that everything is ok.  That awful anxious scared feeling that's there with you when you awake.

I'm sorry @Beehive this feeling of fear that arises before the body even wakes up.. It's chemically terrible, I woke up two hours ago with this feeling too but now it's a tiny bit more bearable, I'll go in for a long, comforting shower and force myself to work, being trapped with myself is a nightmare in this process!

What are your plans? how is your weather there, maybe suitable for a short walk?

I don't remember when I had sleep that could be called normal during this process, if that's any comfort..

I hope it passes quickly for you, you're stronger than this, it's always proven anew.
