That’s excellent news! Glad it’s working for you.
Another great tip is diaphragmatic breathing. This one is more difficult to explain, but essentially it’s using your diaphragm rather than your upper body and shoulders to breathe. Most people take deep breaths from the upper body, with shoulders heaving and all that. This is the opposite. Keep the shoulders still and breathe deeply from the stomach, the diaphragm. Your stomach should be moving in and out, rather than your shoulders. You’ll need to be sat back in a comfy chair and very calm, but it’s incredibly relaxing once you get the hang of it. I remember being very stressed on a flight from Turkey to London and using this technique, and the 4 hour flight raced by because I was in such a calm state.

Ah, sounds much better compared to 7-8 days of it
Feeling alright now after some proper food and more rest.
Followed @jj72 breathing advice up thread as well and it really works. Feel normalised after one or two big exhales so gonna keep doing those.
Thanks for all the well wishes folks, means a lot!
