punch in the guts

[ell19]

Recently I've been having this new feeling. it's like someone just punched me in the guts, between my ribs, exactly where the sternum ends. i feel like emptiness and this makes my breathing so much worse as I feel like i'm not breathing? this is so annoying, i'm tired.

also a quick update on my upper and mid back. i started to put a cream (ibuprofen gel) and the pain nearly disappeared. my back was doing great until today. i tried to not put any cream today but the pain started again, this time with thicks on both sides. guess i'll have to keep going with the cream.

Sounds like your focused on your breathing and the lack of it. I used to do that too, found if I went outside for a bit, even open the window, I felt better. Don't force your breathing let if flow naturally. Try to relax more, maybe you're anxious cos of your back pain.
