Ugh, that sounds frustrating if not exhausting.

Hopefully you'll be on the shorter end of that range estimate.

I can relate. The first time I tried to apply deep breathing relaxation when I was experiencing a great deal of anxiety, I realized how hard that actually is in the moment. No wonder my clients had trouble with it! But, it's much easier to teach it to others when we have some distance from their situation. When it's us, there's no distance. It's in our face. Much harder, imo. You'll get through it, though. Even having awareness of skills helps make it more likely you can use them.

> I am so glad I discovered this website where i can find a support system even though it is far far away and "faceless" - one can feel the heart and warmth.

I'm glad you're finding support here. Wishing you good health...
