Hello always,

Hope you are feeling a little better now.

Firstly, in my own experience, I find that breathing slowly and evenly helps my symptoms ease.

Secondly, in terms of the challenges you have, can you:

a) Get your partner to work another shift other than nights?
b) See if you can work out what is getting you down in your own job and make changes accordingly?
c) Practice being in your own company; it really isn;t so bad once you give it a chance

Hope that helps

Hi I am sorry you are feeling so bad. Try to take deep breaths in, hold it for the count of 4 and let it out slowly. Keep repeating this until you feel calmer. You may need to go back on mexs to help you but you are best discussing this with your doctor.

I'm not of fan of meds, they don't cure anything, only mask symptoms...I took them for 11 yrs, been off them .2 yrs now ,but if you feel you need them then its your decision..

Well its good you're off your meds. I was to afraid to ever try them. Theres a video with some steps that worked for me.
