I understand what your going through ive been there to your situation been to hospital many times and done many test as usual im 100% healthy (i always thank god).I have lots of fears i think to much many negative thoughts,but now im coping it up "no one can help us except ourselves" just put this in your mind "que sera sera" meaning what will happen will happen even if we dont want to happen.Our problem is only psychological i know its hard the worst part is our enemy is ourselves.Just dont think to much when attack is starting think of happy moments and always be calm relax yourself just trust god..Believe me nothing will happen.

i am really sorry to hear about your loss

i know its hard now, but time heals all wounds...and you will be with him again in the afterlife...

you have to be strong for your baby. try and find someone that is supportive of you....a good friend maybe...and the xanax wont make your heart stop....that is nonsense. thousands of people take xanax and pills like xanax a day.....do a google search to see how many peoples hearts have stopped on xanax....you wont find ANY cases.

just dont drink while youre on the xanax!
