Today, it feels like I can’t breathe. It feels like everything that is usually familiar feels uncomfortable. I can’t sit still, I can’t think straight.
I tried to use the breathing method, 4-7-8, to get to sleep last night, and I found it so relaxing. I felt in control of my breathing, which made me feel peaceful. Today, my breathing feels like it’s not my own.
Every time I feel myself disassociating, I try to bring my self back to a place of peace with deep breathes. A nice bath should help me feel more myself.
But what do I do when deep breathes and warm baths don’t work?
