Although, I overthink in general, my recent breathing "asthma" issues give me anxiety and panic attacks if I'm too aware of myself and my fears. What are yours?
I overthink and analyze everything. I have two or three different scenarios running through my mind at one time. I will dissect things in my mind and put them back together. Every sentence every word. I want to feel what you're saying. I listen with the intent to understand. To me your words are very important.
@SW-User Yeah. But I found some people who cared who are very close to me. On the other hand I'm using self help and techniques to pick myself up as quickly as I can. Sorry for the late reply. I forgot my laptop on, and I need frequent breaks.

@SW-User It's quite alright😊 I sincerely hope things get better for you.
SW-User
@SW-User Thanks. I hope they do too.

...passion

@SW-User Passion should be motivating though not necessarily a weakness right?
SW-User
@SW-User but it can be.

Certain food and a woman. 🤫 And some action anime.
@TURTLEGOD 🤗 That's good I'm not the only one. Sometimes I tend to repeat the good things day after day like a mantra. After some shocking news about someone yesterday I'm trying not to make a big deal out of it..it sure makes me think, but so long as I'm not making it my problem I'm fine I guess. Writing the way you think, feel and problem solving techniques really help in my opinion. I plan on carrying on writing a story I had started writing once I feel confident enough to carry on with it related to the same subject.
@SW-User I wish you the best of luck in that venture, writing a book is a lot of work.
But its never good to make anothers persons problems your problems. But i feel its good youre trying not to let it affect you too much.
SW-User
@TURTLEGOD Yeah, you should never let others issues affect you. However sometimes I guess it just happens. Important thing is to gain control as soon as you can.
@SW-User I'm glad you got back on track slowly :) Yeah I heard that the gut and mind are related and want to do more research into it somehow since my tests in the ER and others came back all positive. Which is baffling to say the least. Sure I had a stressful summer but I don't think it should affect me so badly. I remember having a similar crisis a few yeas ago. Maybe I just need to change treatment who knows...in fact I'm going to see a specialist soon.
Humidity and things like that affect me the most. Change of weather does that too. Strong smells annoy me, and even cigarettes do the same crappy thing to me. I'll find a way out. It's just difficult until you find it I suppose.

Reason I asked because we had one unexplainable thinderstorm that affected a lot of athsmatics, it was quite concerning, I haven’t heard of it happen anywhere else, we never had a repeated one, but had warnings of possible future ones, but for it to happen just once, it’s scary shit. I also quit cigarettes over a year ago, replaced it with e cig, that apparantley has a similar ingredient that shares your ventalin but some sources say it’s just as bad as smoking but my lungs have felt a lot better from not smoking, that also helps with my sugar cravings too, because of the flavours and they do smell a lot better than tobacco smoke. Hope you never go through one of these storms though but I heard it only happened here so far in the world.

Wow I didn't know thunderstorms could affect asthmatics to be honest. Must be scary as heck O.O I have a scary thunderbolt experience. It's difficult to forget, more about the reaction I had to it though rather than sheer luck. If you value breathing take my advice, and don't smoke at all. People can never understand the "pain" of breathing like it's through a straw until you actually feel that way and it's super nasty. But you did the good thing in quitting the smoking. I rarely smoked save for a short while in my teen years. But with all my pulmonary issues I had to quit for my well being so it did't last long.

A weakness on a different level from me is my dog. My heart melts everytime she looks into my eyes. She has brought so much joy into my life. I rescued her from a bad home and she rescued me from a dark place.
SW-User
@SW-User Aww, that's so sweet!!! It's nice to hear of people who care about animals and how much they in turn help others too =)
@SW-User Trying your best is all you can do. Try to live and be happy the best way you can because you deserve that. You owe yourself that. All anyone can ask of you is to try. You may even come to find out that a lot of what you think you're doing wrong, isn't wrong at all. Happy New Year and well wishes!

@Keaten Thanks for the kind and uplifting words I really need them right now 😢🤗
@SW-User its not only with you but i also have same issue but then i see anyone feeling sad and lonely i forget about my loneliness and stay with them so they will not feel lonely anymore! 😇 so i read your post here too!
SW-User
@AngelKrish Aww. That's really nice of you to stay with others who are feeling lonely.
@MartinTheFirst I can understand that feeling. I'm dealing with awful "anxiety" attacks lately caused by my asthma. Ugh. I'm waiting for professional advice.
