    Hi Lou,  sorry to hear your panicking I know the feeling,I'm going for some therapy soon myself for Anixety...try to stay calm I know it's no fun do anything to distract your mind while your hubby is away maybe listen to your favorite tunes ok.

      Thank you for replying to me - it's so hard. ..... Trying to breathe properly just a bit scared tonight , live in the middle of nowhere and it's so dark and creepy aswell, I'll be fine in the morning - why is everything so bad at night , all my senses are high almost feeling fight or flight , heart thumping - dreadful x

    Hi Lou, first thing take some breathes....did you smash the spider? If not either smash it or grab what you need from that room, close the door and lay on the couch. Your husband can handle the spider tomorrow. As for the studying put that off until the morning as well. Just focus on breathing and relaxing for now

      thank you yes, it brought up loads of stuff from the past and made me super super aware and alert and scared - got so much mental therapy to do , this is all because of surgical meno which makes things a million times worse - it's just awful, heart thumping so hard it's throbbing in my ears I can hear the blood flowing it's making me feel sick x

      Well when you make it through tonight...which you will. Maybe you might ask your doctor for something just to help you when you are having bad anxiety? I don't like to take them, but sometimes I feel like I am doing my body more harm by not taking something to alleviate the stress. You have us on here for support. Post as much as you need to. Maybe watch some videos on YouTube? There are lots of full tv episodes. I like hogans heroes😊

Thanks for all your support x and sorry to everyone for being a right pain in the bum x
