This is probably the major problem I have with anxiety, I focus on my breathing a lot. Even now I'm feeling every breathe go in and every breathe go out, and I worry that if I stop being conscious of them I will just stop breathing. Even though the rational part of my brain tells me this is stupid as when I sleep I still breathe.
It's happened like crazy tonight, I've not been able to sleep because of it, and I have to get up in just over an hour for work.
And I still feel now like I can't get a satisfying breath. Which is making me worried that I'm gonna be feeling like this all day now until tonight. And then what if I can't sleep again tonight because of it???
It's a horrid cycle!! I'm gonna try and relax for the last hour now, try to make myself not so keyed up for when I have to get up.
What's everyone elses experiences with this aspect of anxiety?
