hi Lynette, welcome to the forums.
I am also a new sufferer of T, but have found this forum to be a lifesaver! So many wonderful posts and hope amongst this community it gives me a better state of mind.

Stress and anxiety tend to increase ones T.
As I have noticed and many say. A way to cope is distraction.
And even I have found distraction is one of the keys. Keeping your mind busy and off T is essential.

I know it's hard but the quicker you can reduce these. The better you will feel.
