    Hi Sandra, don't fight it. Just accept that you are going to feel like this in the meanwhile. It's taken me 12 months of doseage experimenting to realise this but we are anxious about being anxious. It is a complete trap set up by the mind into tricking you to be locked in the cycle. I felt totally normal for 7 days, the best ive felt for 12 months. Then it all came rushing back to square one again but i am no longer frightened by it. I just accepted that i'm going to have loose bowels, pins and needles, sweats, lost appetite etc and after a few days it went away again. Don't despair and don't fight it. You can and will break free. Ive started to feel some symptoms again today but im not scared anymore. It's all a massive trap. AT LAST A LIFE XXX

      Hi Serotonin

      Agree. Im sure there is a 100% cure. But learning to manage / control thoughts

      Try not to panic over thoughts.

      When the chips are down there is always a bit inside that says

      Im not done yet.
