I watched the tech’s expression while I leaned back on the stiff hospital chair, jelly sliding on my round stomach. She clicked in silence, images froze on the screen. Clouds, a dark blob. The baby’s heart, she said. She only looked calm, and I tried to relax, reminded myself again of the odds that the doctors told us, that everything was fine.

Best Bach Flower Remedies for Social AnxietyI’ll be honest – at first, when I was taking Bach Flower Remedies to help me deal with my severe social anxiety, I doubted their efficiency. I was taking them for a few weeks and my social phobia didn’t seem to be fading away. I also took the Rescue Remedy during a state of panic in a social situation and it didn’t change anything for me.So why do I still think Bach Flower Remedies are one of the best choices to help heal social anxiety? After a few weeks of taking a personalised mix of flower essences for social anxiety, I had a very bad day.
