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

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

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?
