Hi crazychick
I'm also in the uk.
Hmmm, don't know what to suggest, except maybe try this exercise, I remember it from ante-natal classes. I think it helps with hyperventilation.You *have* to really concentrate on your breathing. (Ok this is the opposite of what you want, but it takes the pressure off trying to think of something different. ) Try to take in exactly the right amount of breath that you need. Inhale and exhale exactly the right amount. No more. No less. Visualise the air going into your lungs and going out of your lungs. Visualise the exact amount of air that you need for each breath in a little bubble. Just really concentrate on this for a while. Try to get it exactly right and think of nothing else. I find it really relaxing.
My two daughters are terrible. I'm sure they're far worse than yours.
