    You’re here because you’re anxious. I get it. Your mind just won’t switch off. It’s like episode after episode of Big Bang Theory, it just keeps going (if you live in Australia you’ll know they have been playing repeat after repeat).  Or the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going and going…

    And I’m not sure about you but having anxiety and sickness at the same time can make it all the more overwhelming.

    I’ve been so incredibly frustrated.
