hey all!**

it's been awhile since i've posted in here because i was doing much better thanks to my meds.

but now that i have no insurance, i can't afford them (300$ a month.) so ive been trying to cope. but today, it's been so hard.

earlier this morning, i was sitting on my bed watching tv when all of a sudden i had a breathless feeling. it kind of subsided when i stopd up. but now, all day i've been feeling this off & on. it's scaring me. it feels like i can't catch a breath & lasts for maybe 10 seconds. it seems to get worse sometimes standing, and sometimes sitting. ive had tingling in my face come & go too.

does this sound like anxiety to you? i'm freaking myself out thinking it's lung cancer or something. 

    go to you tube and search fro " stop panic attacks now" its great at slowing down heart Rate! SHE GUIDES U THRU IT.

    fast heart wont hurt you, its just caused by adrenaline your brain sends out when u r anxious.
