Hi, I struggle with bad anxiety. It exhausts me at times. I use to take xanax for it ,a mild dose. I stopped it. I just do not like it. I get tired from cough syrup. My tolerance is not very well. Very nice to meet you.

Once you get the hang of the asthma you will be fine. There's a huge spike in anxiety when something new comes along for me, I have noticed. Once I take a few deep breaths, confront the issue, work out how to handle it and learn what I need to know about it, I start to come right.

Just remember you have 2 puffers for 2 different purposes. Remember always to take your preventative. They'll work with you to get a dose that means you don't have attacks. and always have your other inhaler (i want to say by colour but I know that might be different in your country) near you.

Eat right. Sleep well. Wear sensible clothes that keep you warm. You have to take care of your health because bronchitis is no fun with asthma.

But these are things we all have to learn to do anyway. You are going to be fine, it breaks down quite easy and if you stick to your management plan it will be absolutely easy to handle.

Thanks for the welcomes and advice peeps

I have experienced depression too and it sucks. It's like there's always a dark cloud hovering over you. I have not taken any medicines, instead I use audio subliminal hypnosis. Im still on a healing journey but everyday seems to get better and better for me. Hope is everywhere dear, the fact that your still breathing is an indicator that life has something for you. Asthma is usually a chronic condition alleviated by triggers such as allergens or stress, the big factor as well is that its in your genes. As for that I have heard drinking coconut juice/wine is good for that. Another weird thing is that the friend of my uncle used to have asthma and what he did is that he drank a blenderized gecko animal juice 2 times and he's asthma was gone already.
