I hear you, I had been there many times.It's going to be okay. Don't brow beat yourself.

Those big box stores offer a lot of mental stimulation

all around you.

Take that time while outside to relax your shoulders

and just breathe naturally. Exhaling long and slow

will slow down the symptoms.

You are safe. We are here for you :) xx
