That's on Tuesday as well! Tuesday is a busy night for me lol. Therapist apt and then the mood disorders apt.
My throat is so dry today and stressing me out I'm assuming it's another lovely part of anxiety and the breathing thing!

Hope your having a good day!!

Ugh yep I'm trying. Can't wait till the day I'm not so aware of my every breathe. One day I hope!

You are better than my therapist lol!
I'm so glad you sleep better now. I hated when I couldn't sleep. It was so frustrating.

Ya sometimes I do nothing and it just drives me nuts that I'm so aware and sometimes I try to control my breathing (sometimes I even catch myself doing this without even being aware at first that I'm doing it) or I take deep breaths and yawn or I just pay attention to every single feeling in my chest and throat.

Hahaha you definitely deserve a gold star!
I'm constantly aware of my breathing even when I'm not anxious! But I will try that just focus on what I'm doing in the moment and just say oh well these symptoms will pass. I feel like the hardest one for me to break will be the controlled breathing since that one I find myself doing it without even being aware just trying to deepen my breathe.

I just don't know what new behaviours to practice. Besides trying not to control the breathing and not yawning or taking deep breaths.
Also yes I need to get rid of plant x! Lol. I like that plan.

You are so great at explaining this and making me at ease with your explanations. You make it make so much more sense.

That was a great post. I really need to stop fearing it as much as I do and feeding into it. Sometimes it's hard and I feel defeated. I have to keep reminding myself it's not going to just be uphill and ill fall sometimes and that's okay.

Hahaha that's awesome.

You're awesome! It's been so so helpful to talk to you! I've been trying to think about all these things you've said today and other days and it's been helping.
Also I think I found my wedding dress today so that made me super distracted for a few hours which also helped lol.

I wish that was true this time lol.
I was feeling great Sunday. Yesterday I just could not stop thinking of my breathing every second of the entire day and then on the way home I had a bad panic attack in the car. It made me feel really sad :(.
