writes: I was with my boyfriend for 6 years, I loved him very much but we have now been split for 4 months now, I feel like my life is crashing down, although the split was both what we wanted and I wouldn't go back I'm still finding it hard. I seem to be suffering with extreme anxiety since the split, I get very nervous, sweaty, hot and cold flushes and can't breathe. Its horrible feeling like this, I constantly think I'm ill, I went for a CT scan, does a CT scan detect all cancers? This is my daily life I'm always worrying and think people are looking and talking about me. I'm starting to make myself very ill but I don't know what to do about it. Seems my life is going down since the split. What advice would you have for me on the anxiety? And will I ever learn to calm down and fully move on?

I suspect that you are still harboring strong feelings for your ex, and it is messing with your head and your life. When I was in a similar situation, still very much attached to a woman who had left me, I tried the techniques outlined in a book called "How to Fall OUT of Love". It involves repatterning and revising your thoughts and actions to give yourself freedom. I recommend it highly.
As for your physical condition, depend on the advice and guidance of your medical professional to see what to do about that. And if it seems that your thoughts are becoming too much, ask your primary care provider to recommend possible professional counseling alternatives that might be of use to you.

You will. Give yourself time. This will pass. Find yourself a distraction. Something to focus on and get very involved in. Keep as busy as possible and in time you will feel better. If you feel totally overwhelmed get yourself to the doctors and hopefully they can get you on some sort of therapy to help you. Hang in there. I've been going through a similar thing. I feel my best when I get regular exercise. It calms me down and I feel better about myself too.
