Happy new year to you all!

is there anyone else who is really struggling with their breathing? I can breathe but i am very conscious of my inhale and exhale as though i would stop breathing if i forgot to think about it. i know it sounds crazy but i am so aware of it currently.

I am 20mg fluoxetine, which I take at night and have anxiety which has been brought on by another prescribed medication which i have now stopped. This is happened before and i was on Sertraline which i tried to find some balance with but after 8 months I was struggling with side effects.

This site and the people on it have been a godsend and you bring comfort to my crazy mind. I am usually the one that scrolls but i would like some interaction as my family don't fully get it, as they cant see it.
