Breathing Question

I was just wondering for those of you that are obsessive breathers or severely high constant anxiety, if any of you get really anxious or panicky when the humidity levels go up and the air becomes thick? I literally hate it. We have been having rain/thunderstorms this evening and the air has become quite thick with the humidity being really high. It's only in the 50s now but the thick air still bothers me. I am trying not to let it panic me and keep telling myself that others notice the thick air to and don't let it get to them. Anyway I was just wondering if I am alone with this or if there are others who notice when the humidity gets high and the air becomes thick. Does it bother you to and make you anxious and if so what do you tell yourself to help you calm down and stop worrying about it? Thanks for any replies to this.

God bless,
Susan

Gosh I was hoping there were more here in the group that could relate to what I was talking about here. It's so hard to explain things on the computer but I am glad no one else feels this way because it's not a fun feeling.

God bless everyone here with a good nights sleep.

I have noticed that when i am in the shower for a long period of time i get anxious due to the thick air which makes it hard to breathe.When tis happens i get out as quick as i can before i freakout.You are not alone.

Thank you for your reply Johnboy11. I know exactly what you mean. I dread taking showers because I have had so many panic attacks hit that led me to start hyperventilating. That is so very scary. Now when I take showers I turn my little blue fan on that I keep in there and sometimes even open the window a tad bit. When the temps are just right and I can open the window all the way keeping the curtains shut I have a much easier time taking the shower. It's not near as stuffy or hard to breathe with the moisture/humidity having a place to vent out. Thanks again for your reply. It's always soothing and helpful to know that someone else out there goes through something similar to what I do (not that I would wish this on anyone.

)

God bless you,
Susan
