A: hi :):)I suffer from the same the same thing 😀 At one point of my life it did the same to me.I did some things to keep it at bay. 1) i sat down and talked to some one about it.2) I focused on a point on what I wanted to do achieve3) I changed the way I thought about things.4) I fall asleep with Doctor who on on my ipod.One of the best things to do is take one day at a time whilst getting better. Talk to people tell a few close friends what your going through don’t keep it all bottled up.Don’t think about it far to much because it only happens what once every year at Max. I’m sorry if this has not helped. feel free to email me. :)i hope u get over this.
