    Learn mindfullness training. Mindful breathing. Proper breathing is vital to people with anxiety and get an audiobook on cbt. Anxiety cbt for dummies is actually fantastic in my opinion. Learn yoga, and how to mediatate it teaches you to self calm through breathing. Remove loaded sugary or caffienated substances from your diet. Thats where you start.

      Hi cal......Every symptom you listed I have suffered for the last 7 years or more.

      It is anxiety and it is a nightmare, but one which you can control.

      Someone said on here:-

      "You control your mind, your mind dosen't control you".

      And I try and tell myself that when I feel anxious.

      Take care

      John
