hi chris35, i know it seems like it is going to take a long time to recover and you are feeling really low right now,i felt the same in the beginning. i know it sounds so cliche to say stay positive but it really does help,i fill my head with positive thoughts and consciously replace any negative with a positive and it really helps i push myself to ignore my anxiety and tell myself it is not real. (mine was so bad i became agoraphobic and still am a bit!) one thing all this has taught me is that i am much stronger than i thought i was,things that i used to think i was afraid of are not so scary anymore bacause i know what it feels like now to be terrified! i am much bolder than i used to be as i think if i can overcome this i can overcome anything. i know it all sounds a bit touchy feely but it really can work in your favour to be positive even when things are bad,look at all the good stuff that you have and that is happening to you,ignore all the crap that is going on! chin up chris35 i hope it will get better for you soon. sarah
