Hello Colby

You will be breathing with two lungs and shows it is anxiety as in the fresh air you feel fine :-)

Try not to focus in on your breathing because it will start to feel something is wrong if you do ;-)

Enjoy your evening :-)

Take Care x

I feel the same way. When I go outside I feel so much better. I think we're in the same boat :)

Yeaa it happened to me last night to like I felt as though I couldn't breath lmy heart race a little but came down quick. Ii often take deep breaths but it doesn't seem satisfying to me like I use to take deep breaths. I feel as though I wanna pass out or die.

I was in therapy(panic attacks) a long time ago where breathing was discussed.

I think we can all do with a bit of correct healthy breathing like:

In with you nose out your mouth

Your belly must lift up when you breath in.

Keep your breath in a few seconds.

Resist the temptation to breathe in again, to quickly after the previous breath (as if you did not get in enough oxygen)

If we can breathe correctly we can stimulate the vagal nerve that can help us calm down.
