That takes alot of guts to do. So again well done.<BR/><BR/>I don't tell anyone if I am starting to panic. My wife has learned to read the signs. I claw my next as anxiety grows so she knows but doesn't say at the time. I just can't acknowlege it when its happening. I feel if I did I would not be able to stop it spilling over and it would bring unwanted attention. I need to put everything into keeping it in check without distraction. That is the wrong way but for me the only way at the moment.<BR/><BR/>All the best<BR/><BR/>NechtanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063982749891853919.post-52276205151549090202009-03-21T21:00:00.000+00:002009-03-21T21:00:00.000+00:00hi nechtanim cofused. breathing wasnt such a big d...hi nechtan<BR/><BR/>im cofused. breathing wasnt such a big difficulty with my anxiety before. so i therefore thought that it isnt anxiety. my pulse was 64, which is low, so was i anxious? i must keep a check on my thoughts to see if anything is making me anxious.<BR/><BR/>its so intense, and so awful. its the only symptom that ive said out loud, because its scared me so much. ive managed to keep everything else safely locked in my head. <BR/><BR/>im glad i persisted, almost saying it out loud helped me to continue with the journey, which is odd for me. before i didnt want the fuss of people asking how i was, so i held it in. <BR/><BR/>maybe this is the way forward.<BR/><BR/>do you tell anyone when your anxious? if so do you have to feel really asful before you do?<BR/>thanks. alice.emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196652412958890367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063982749891853919.post-5731612916247584432009-03-21T20:21:00.000+00:002009-03-21T20:21:00.000+00:00Hi Alice,It is an interesting point about whether ...Hi Alice,<BR/><BR/>It is an interesting point about whether the symptoms of breathing difficulties are physical or mental. I've often thought on this and still not come up with an answer. Sometimes I go for a walk and I am positive the breathing difficulties are a physical symptom. Then I think back to the 6 week good period I had a year ago and I had none of those. That was in between 3-4 years of them previously and a year of them since. But can they just come and go like that if they are physical?<BR/><BR/>I think the only way we will ever know for sure is if we overcome our anxiety problems. But its a vicious circle. Breathing difficulties cause anxiety and anxiety causes breathing problems. Its near impossible to tell which is fuelling which.<BR/><BR/>All the best<BR/><BR/>NechtanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
