[xx(] At the moment I am suffering with the dreaded cold.
For some reason this has really set me on edge.
I don't know if it's the fear of it turning to bronchitis again, and that is what is worrying me . Or the fear of not being able to breathe at all full stop.
There are only so many decongestants you can take in one day, and they only work for 4 hours at a time.
When they wear off, I seem to find myself trying to breathe through my nose, and then when I can't, I start panting for breath, and becoming afraid because of it.
Which is really silly as I have a mouth that is perfectly able to collect air, so it shouldn't really matter if my nose is blocked or not. It is not like I am being totally smothered [:I]
I use enough vaseline to sink a battleship. So I know I won't look like rudolph, and my lips won't dry out and feel all funny the next morning. (Should I breathe through my mouth while I'm asleep.)
My pillows and nightwear get a good sprinkle of Eucalyptus and Rosemary oils. - So I get a good minty inhale while I'm asleep.
Does anyone else suffer with this fear of being smothered while suffering with a cold or blocked up nose?
Is it normal or am I just my usual eccentric self ?
Love, light and Best wishes
