On May 28th I lost my beautiful baby boy who was born sleeping due to a blood clot in the placenta. I have posted on several boards about this issue that I am having. I can't seem to stop focusing on my breathing. Its all I do and I always feel uneasy. Like im on edge fearing that something bad is about to happen. I have never had panic or anxiety issues until all this happend. Please help me if you have been in this same situation.
how are you doing? ok take deep breaths i know which is easier said than done. you are having a full blown panic attack. i have had many of them. i actually had one yesterday. they are awful. i am so sorry you are going through this. have you been to the doctor b/c there are things you can take to help. i dont know. let me know if you need to talk. i am here for you. hope your day gets better. think about someting else. watch tv or read a book or go play a game. whatever you can do to get your mind off of the breathing will help. ok have a good day.
ask doc if your health is OK and accept his reassurance
listen to music or watch TV
the human body works best when its ignored, especially the heart needs no monitoring from us, it knows how to manage all by itself
deep slow breathing is relaxing but just do it without thinking about it
