You have to do what you feel is best at the time, don't judge yourself harshly. Be kind to yourself!

Have you ever had anyone teach you how to breath. I now that sounds daft but i have just found out that the "relaxed breathing" i though i was doing was actually making it worse. I am just starting councelling and CBT and have to learn this thing called "diamophratic breathing", i swear to god you would fall over laughing if you saw me trying to do this, but apparently it takes abit practice which is probably just as well as i'm crap at it at the moment ha ha
