so lately i've been getting a lot more, "mini-breakdowns" where i just feel flustered, hopeless, ... [...], ...
anyway, i was thinking about it today and i realized that the reason they sort of, grow worse (i'm thinking of a word that begins with e --- not exorbitant, maybe.hrm...) is because i stop breathing!
so, when i get flustered, i used to just say whatever came to my mind, rash things that i didn't really mean. anyway, over the years i learned to control myself, purse my mouth together, furrowed eyebrows, and just think whatever i was thinking but kept shut. it has worked...reasonably well i s'pose. but i think i mostly breathe through my mouth (assumption 1) because when my mouth is closed, then i have to breathe through my nose, which i assume is not as effective (assumption 2) and thus, less oxygen than my body is accustomed to and i feel ... flustered, etc.
i mean, i really do feel nauseous and that things are, hrm, "crashing down." it's just a thought.

...not sure about that. but, it certainly is more alleviating to take a deep breath through your mouth...
ReplyDeletejust make sure you are breathing though. apparently, you can die of a heart attack when you're taking a dump. and that's from holding your breath and trying really really hard. so you should remember to breathe. fyi.
maybe that's why deep breathing is a relaxation technique
ReplyDelete"exacerbate"
ReplyDeleteyou know what, that wasn't what i was thinking (was it?) ... but maybe it was? because it fits so well?!
ReplyDeletethanks.
