everyone is different and i’m not putting anyone down or invalidating what works for others but i would love for people to know that isn’t that easy. “just breathe through it.” it’s near impossible to have folks understand what’s beyond their perception of understanding. i am beyond words so happy that it works for you but it doesn’t work for me. 

if it was that easy for me to breathe through a situation, i wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with. anxiety is a silent killer.
