Hey anastasia,

Just keep taking long deep breaths if you can and count to three as you are breathing in and then slowy out again. Hope it passes soon

i dont understand what's causing it though. i'm not doing anything.

watching tv
thinking about going to work

that's it.

i hate this. never a good day

These days I am mostly in a constant state of anxiety and agitation *sigh*
Are you on medication, I can;t remember if you ever mentioned it - some meds can be a cause.

OK well it could be that - I don;t know though I am not a Dr - see if you get continuous symptoms like that. Its usually in the early days you get the side effects of the meds.
