Jujuboo...You need to try and calm yourself down!!! You are going through a difficult time because you just lost your uncle!!!

You are out of anxiety medication, and you are scaring your self with your negative thinking!!!

I am sure that isn't a spider bite, since, the spider wasn't even on that particular area of your body!!!

I am sure if you had gotten bitten by a poisonous spider, then, you would not have been sitting here typing all of this out!!! You would be in the hospital, by now!!!

If you mean your throat feels like it is closing up, then, I am well acquainted with that one!!! That symptom is very common for those who suffer from anxiety!!!

I am sure you are going to be fine...You just need to do some "positive self talk" and let this one go!!!!

I pray you do not continue to "obsess" over these things...You are healthy and safe, and just suffering from a bout of anxiety and panic!!!

Have a good night...God Bless

The more you try and stop thinking about something, the more you do think about it!!!

This is kinda like saying...Do not think about a pink elephant!!! If you tell yourself not to think about a pink elephant, then, of course, you will think about a pink elephant...

You have to allow yourself to think those negative thoughts, but, just don't give them any weight...Know that thoughts are just thoughts...Thoughts are not facts!!!!

Just because some negative thought pops into your mind, does not mean it is true!!!

Make sure to replace those "negative thoughts" with thoughts that are more "realistic and truthful...Thoughts that make you feel warm, loved, content, healthy, safe and secure!!!!

You are not your thoughts...You are your actions!!! It is your choice whether to allow these thoughts to stick to you like glue, or just to observe them, as watch as they float lazily over your head, as clouds do!!!!

You will get much better at this one as time goes on...God Bless
