    Hello Lizzy, you are very normal. Just think you are one more day through this. I hope that you slept during the night. Make sure you nap throughout the day too! Lack of sleep makes you feel worse. It is almost bedtime here. Im another day out of this too! Try to find something to relax you right now, a book, some warm milk or warm decaf tea. You will feel better soon. Please hang in there and try to breathe. Praying for you!

    Hi lizzy, it is normal for brief period of time, how long is brief? It took me a year to stop crying, but during this phase after you stop crying it can come for a day or two and not show up for another 6 months or a year.

    Maybe you should consider some form of HRT or antidepressant, if you can to mitigate these symptoms

      Sue, that's great that you "recognise" when you are going down again. that's part of cbt you know...... recognising your negative times/thoughts coming & trying to stop them in their tracks & deal with them rationally. "recognising" those times/thoughts is key to start on the path(cbt again) of your own strength to actually CHANGE those thoughts & stop them overriding you into worse anxiety. Its a great step forward for you with your longstanding anxiety.  xxx

      You are so right looloo. If we can recognize and stop the thoughts...somehow through all of this I feel God is strengthening my faith through each situation I face. One day at a time it is. And sometimes an hour at a time

      Yes, i have always been a "natural" worrier, but through age, tough times, & eventually cbt just over 6yrs ago, i am now very good at not "what iffing" & getting myself into a tizzy of anxiety. it takes alot of practice, but eventually becomes normal behaviour.  i have been ill & off work for months with other health problem, & the not "what iffing" & adopting the 1 step at a time/thinking no further about what might or MIGHT NOT happen keeps me sane in the face of alot adversity at present. all the best to you 2chr.......xx

    Hi Lizzy. Thinking of you. I often feel like you. I have finally seen a psychiatrist and am taking some anti anxiety meds. I think our bodies go through so much and it affects us in so many ways. Physically, emotionally and mentally. Try to relax. Advice I can give our and not take myself. You are in my thoughts and just take one day at a time. Xo

    Hi lizzymarie, I used to have periods of crying spells. I found them very disruptive. I went to the doctor, started taking low dose HRT. I rarely have those episodes now. Thank goodness.
