I also have the tightness in my chest 24/7 that goes up into my throat and jaws. I always feel like I'm on the verge of tears. I'm like that on the inside and normal on the outside. I'ts like I'm two different people. It's a psychological trauma 2 yrs ago that got me here. Like you, I'd love to be normal again!

This afternoon is my first therapy appointment. I am dreading it but at the same time looking forward to it. I've put it off for a looooong time thinking it'll all just go away. I keep rehearsing in my head what I'm going to say, taking lots of tissues, and hoping for the best.
