Breathing

Does anyone else feel like they can't get a good breath or have to keep taking a deep breath constantly for long periods of time?I have had this feeling for about 7 years off and on. I guess If it was a heart problem it would have gotten worse. I'm only 32. It started when I was 25.

This is very, very common in people with anxiety.

Hey Little Chris!!
Yes, Missgsr is right. This is common!
But, you can start right now - to change how you react to it... start with doing your breathing exercise that is recommended in the relaxation cd. You remember - 2x4 slow breaths to start relaxing yourself. Keep your mind active and distract yourself. Maybe start planning for the classes or the schooling you would like to pursue! Then get going, sign up and do it!!!
Our minds and thoughts aren’t always true. Don't let yourself over-react to them!
Christine, take care of All of You... Be Positive and know you are getting better everyday!
