Firstly though, can you relate to the below?
- I struggle to fall asleep and wake frequently.
- I think a lot about why I do the things I do.
- I show little interest in things I used to enjoy.
- I have difficulty swallowing or have a ‘lump in throat’ feeling.
- I feel tense and on edge.
- I feel fearful and tearful for no reason.
- I dwell on things people have said and it worries me.
- I feel symptoms are heightened during my menstrual cycle (female).
- I get numbness and tingling feelings, for example on my hands and feet.
