It's now day two of this struggle with my demons, with this depression.  I find myself in episodes of.. anxiety maybe?  I don't quite know what it is.  There are random moments where there is a throbbing pain in my heart, and when I breathe it's kind of like I just went for a jog or something like that.  I dunno if that would be anxiety or what.  But it hurts, it feels like there's a thousand pounds on my chest.

Oh well, it's just what I have to go through and deal with.  I just wish I could have a hand to hold going through this.

    Hey simply - I wish I could hold your hand to make you feel better.  You're not alone.  I'm with you in spirit :-)

    With the breathing, try this, it really does work.

    Breath in and count as you do it.  Breath in 2,3,4.  Hold 2,3,4.  Breath out 2,3,4,5.  Breathing out is always one extra count to ensure we empty the lungs completely.  This will bring physical relief as your breathing becoming less laboured.  As your breathing becomes less laboured the anxiety may calm somewhat and you will not feel like your heart is pounding.  Concentrate on each breath too as if its the only thing you are thinking of.  Hope it helps a little.

    pusscat - =)  You may not be able to hold my hand, but just hearing you say you wish you could, and that I'm not alone as your with me in spirit is rather comforting. ^_^  As, you don't have to want to be there and it's just nice to hear. ^_^

    Thank you for the breathing exercise, I shall for sure write this down and try it out when I can. ^_^  

    Thank you for wanting to make me feel better. =] <3

    It is often amazing isn't it how word can be so comforting.  I know that I've had many a comforting word from my dear friends here at SC so I try to do the same.

    Glad I could help :-)
    Take care

There are many people suffering from depression disorders who fail to recognize the symptoms and sometimes it takes being informed by a trusted friend or family member that you are exhibiting signs....
All of us experience some sort of anxiety from time to time. It is our natural response to a situation that we find stressful....
They say that using witchcraft, ouija boards, and tarot cards can open one up to demonic forces. I think that could explain the mind reading attacks and the chaos in my life. Is it all real or just going on because a part of me still believes in these...
Maybe a marriage counselor is in order?...
If anything, read to get the reveal of my Best Friends name XD...
