Struggling

[Mrspimplepopper]

I don't know if anyone remembers my thread from Monday. I couldn't get a gp appointment so went to a&e and was found I had viral meningitis after lumbar puncture.

I came home but ended up going back on Tuesday because I felt so unwell. Was admitted. Came home yesterday.

Physically I feel a bit better but my anxiety is through the roof. I don't know how to calm down

Anyone?

I’m so sorry you’ve had a rough time.

Could you do some exercises to try and focus on calmer breathing?

Don’t underestimate what you’ve been through

Anxiety is shite.
I am here and listening x

Thankyou. I feel so unsafe and out of control

This sounds really difficult, so sorry to hear you're going through it :( Maybe try contacting Meningitis Now. In my experience of meningitis they've always been really helpful - they have a helpline you can call & some online communities on Facebook & I'm pretty sure they may offer other options like counselling etc too?
