The ultrasound tech said the doctor would explain afterward. The tech would take pictures of the baby, while the doctor reviewed the images in a different room. 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. 

Bullying is a major problem that affects both kids and adults.

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.

I forget I’m chronically ill. In those first few seconds of the day, I feel light. I feel whole. I feel free. And then, all at once, the heaviness pushes down on my chest. Nothingness becomes everything. Now, I lie in bed dreading the day. I lie there debilitated by anxiety, depression, and discomfort. The thought of rising even to get dressed is too intimidating. Only five minutes have passed and every ounce of energy I have is already depleting.
