It does get better with time. It never goes away because I think your body is changed chemically. You can definitely make it better with breath. I took a mindfulness and meditation class and it really helped. Exercise helps so much too. <br /><br />It was very nice to meet you on your blog. I wish you the best and may your breath keep bringing you peace.Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909148405345235236.post-36460433254865790312009-07-23T20:39:23.472-04:002009-07-23T20:39:23.472-04:00Sometimes that's all we can do.

I admire that you are able to acknowledge it and not try to just push it under a rug hoping it just goes away on it's own. <br /><br />The older we get the more we realize that the fairy tale of the life we thought we were going to have might not come true. But you know what? That's ok. Cause sometimes it ends up BETTER than we thought.<br /><br />Thoughts are with you...Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904565419263482091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909148405345235236.post-66593923135455344572009-07-22T22:38:26.623-04:002009-07-22T22:38:26.623-04:00Michelle- Just saying one last good-bye.

I make it all about the bar exam, but it's not. There's always other things. <br /><br />Mostly I'm glad that things are moving positively for you! And you do whatever you need to do - but I'm with you on the pain or discomfort. I go into it and through it. I rant a lot when in it but then it's over. <br /><br />Best wishes!NOLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572754078356812922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909148405345235236.post-43902489951329543032009-07-22T12:53:34.958-04:002009-07-22T12:53:34.958-04:00I went through that so badly last summer that it g...I went through that so badly last summer that it got completely debilitating and I went crazy with it. Truly crazy. I had not one moment of peace. I finally went to a doctor (hard for me to do that) and got put on an antidepressant. That was so difficult- to make the appointment, to go in and tell them how it was, to beg for help.<br />So please- do stay on top of this. Breathe with it, and if you feel it might take you under, get some help. Ask for help. There is no shame in it. I don't know if I would have made it without doing that. I don't know if I would have wanted to. <br />I'm going to miss you so much in the next ten days. Please be well.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909148405345235236.post-61899375359894354052009-07-22T11:59:47.884-04:002009-07-22T11:59:47.884-04:00You know I GET this.
