dreamer, Keep the faith. Relax if you can. Breathe in through your nose, start from the stomach pulling in air till it your belly sticks out then breathe in all the way to the top of your lungs. Take 7 counts to take in air, hold your breath for 4 counts, then take 8 counts to exhale thru pursed lips. Repeat 4 times. Do it when you feel overwhelmed.
Will this help, you say? How the hell should I know! It has helped me in the past. And it will occupy a few moments of ' no thinking' time. Just try accepting where you are and "know" it'll be okay.
There isn't a person on this board that wouldn't help you. Like Grandpappy Greg said...sorry, I forgot what he said. Though I'm sure it was good coming from the old geezer. BTW Greg, I am really happy for you and your family. You're one of the best around these parts, so I hope you stick around.
Dreamer..I'd love to hear your first initial reaction and feeling when I started in with breathing directions, okay? I have a feeling it might be funny.
Who's the one person?Phil
