Nina, we're here with you. I've had this SO many times in the past. I believe this is your anxiety. I had a tough time believing this too a few years ago.

It's so scary 😔

in reply to _sincerelynina

I know it is. I'm going through the worst attack I've had in a long time right now too. But I know I'm okay, the battle inside is which thought patterns will I listen to. Think positive in these times

It's still there but I'm breathing through my nose it's so hard to breath

The funny thing is that our minds get in the way. We have the autonumonic system that controls our breathing for us and that won't stop, and it does just fine on its own. What you're experiencing though is analogous to an NBA player who's up for the free throw. He lines up to make the shot he can net with his eyes closed, its automatic for him, but it's different, he's in a game now, and he's out of rhythm. The fight is to not do what he already knows he needs to do, but to get out of his head.

our mind tries to take control and play our system we already know so well, like a chess game. Micromanaging every breath, thus making it tough.

You're doing great by talking with your friend, and reaching out to your friends here. It helps!!

Sounds like anxiety.Have anyone tried the B vitamin stress complex with zinc and vitamin C in it.I just got some and I tell you I can feel it working already taking the anxiety away.I take this and a magnesium a day.Not telling anyone what to do but I read a lot of great reviews for anxiety on these vitamins.Feel better soon and try and take control of your mind.
