BREATHING

[Wenjoy]

Ive just realised how important it is to breathe. I started my part time job to go full time from today and was fine until I got hot and I noticed my shoulders up round my ears and it was as if it washed over me and I started to struggle to breathe and felt myself hypervelating and the room spinning - I had to pinch myself and say "stop" you are ok ....... Its so crazy the way our minds work isnt it. Love wenjoy x

You must take as a big positive the recognition of the onset of HV and doing something about
Focus on the fact that you took action rather than that you Hyperventilated

I find this breathing method very helpful in a crisis and can relate to the shoulders up around the ears!
