 First time poster here. Feel like I am about to lose my mind, I have had a heavy weight on my chest for about 6 weeks now, I gasp for air all day, repositioning my body and yawning just to get a full breath. I have had a battery of tests and medically I am fine. I am diagnosed with GAD and OCD. I understand what is happening, I am stuck in a fear cycle that is perpetuating my problem here. I am afraid it will not go away, and if it does, it will come back and I have to deal with this nightmare again. I am an avid reader, the latest book I read was by claire weekes, her philosphy is to make friends with it and accept it, let time pass. I agree with this methodology; however, it is hard to make friends with something causing so much pain. Anyone experiencing or has experienced something similar?
