Sue,

I think it's very normal for anxiety to do these things for you. It sounds like you have all the classic symptoms - shallow breathing, shaking etc. The reason why you worry so much about your breathing being out of sync is because the feelings of anxiety are so powerful and physical that you can easily start to think that there is something seriously wrong with you when in fact it's just anxiety. My CPN gave me a good way of coping with these feelings - she said that everytime they came on you should remind yourself in your own mind that it is JUST anxiety and say to yourself that you can control this because you know what it is thats causing these nasty symptoms - the anxiety. I know it's very scary but just remember that there is nothing wrong with your body and that there is nothing to be frightened of - it's just that damned anxiety talking!

Take Care,

Sue.

Well done for having improved about this for a few weeks. Thats good news.

You know this of old and it won't be any different this time only the quicker you ignore it the faster it will leave you.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Hi Sue

Just read your thread.

I too had a similar set back last week, but just wanted to say things have now improved and my sleep is returning.

It was definately a little blip and after a couple of days I accepted this and decided that whatever happens at night, I will go with. This attitiude really helped and have now not woken for several nights.

So, just try and let your concerns go, it is just anxiety. You may find that this is enough to help turn the corner again!

Fingers crossed for you!
