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 :(.
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.
Its important not to be discouraged. Expect anxiety to heighten at the beginning but it will decrease as you desensitize yourself from experiencing anxiety toward your breathing.
This will require courage. You can do it. Youre at a fork in the road: Face anxiety -->Short term pain for long term gain vs Accommodate anxiety by resorting to safety behaviours ---> short term gain for long term pain.
For God's sake youve got a wedding to plan, parties to go and life to live!!
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.
