Anxious about my breathing

My breathing has bet getting worse day by day and it has me worried and no one around here is taking me seriously. i have always have to take a deep breath to keep from passing out. i cant even yawn completely without gasping for air. im so afraid its the gerd that is causing this, cause it keeps getting worse. i cant sleep, i cant eat, i cant do anything cause im so scared im going to die from this. i cant watch tv, get too emotional, anything physical without taking deep breaths or being in pain. I dont have a social life anymore, cause no one wants to hear about my problems and i i just cant stand to be around people that dont care or try to understand what im going through. im afraid of dying but living life like this everybody to me is just not worth it. i dont want to rush to the er all the time so i deal with it. but its really starting to ruin my life and sometimes i dont even want to wake up cause of the pain and struggling to just get through the day and then dealing with it at night and the next day and everyday. Im not working, have no income, and dont know what im going to do with my so called life now.

Today sucked, just like every other day. Man i just wished i could go back in time before all this. The pain is just too much for me. I cant deal with this for the rest of my life. Dont know what else to say or do. Cant think about the future, cause i really dont see one. My breathing problem is gerd related. No relief from any meds. I just dont know anymore.

I sure hope it will get better, cause its ruining my life.

im trying to, thanks for the support everybody.

H&S, I hate to hear you sounding so miserable:( Please. please forgive me if I sound like a broken record, but remind me, if you have tried seeking therapy. (I talk to many people regarding this, so I'm sorry if I've already asked you this.)

It it true that life and relationships can be, well, 'sucky'. We can't change that, so the only place to go from there is to change how we deal with what is surrounding us. We can face our challenges in a better, stronger, more positive way...or we can continue to feel awful. In some ways, it becomes a choice...we can't choose every circumstance in life, but we can choose how we are going to deal with it.

Everyone gets down sometimes, but if it is getting hard to get back up, at some point you need to get pro-active. Seeking help either with a therapist, or on-line is a good start.

We have two good links that we have positve results with here:

and
Ecouch

The links are in the Anxiety Resource Guide (3rd post main page)

Please consider getting in touch with a therapist who offers CBT, or giving one of the on-line helps a try. There's nothing to lose, you can only gain, I promise.
