I quit dipping for about 2 months, and now im starting back, but not because I want to, its just that I've got so many things stressing me out:

- My girlfriend doesn't think that I care about her anymore cause I never surprise her anymore with little stuff, but I do care, and I realize that I dont do that stuff anymore, and that I should do that for, because she is the love of my life.

- Ive had two tests this week, and I have 2 tests next week, ahhhh this last semester of my college career isn't layed back at all, every single semester its gotten progressively harder, this semester isn't as bad as last semester though.

- Im in the process of finding a full-time job with Civil Eng. but its hard because of the current state of the economy

- Trying to figure out what is wrong with my bike not being able to start! ahhh, sensors

- My 3 roomates party every single night pretty much, and I have to be at work at 7am.... by the time i get done with my school work im in bed by 11 or 12, but I cant fall asleep until around 1am so I dont get much sleep

- I cant breathe! This is the 3rd time this has happened to me in 2 years.... Ive had asthma my whole life but around high school it started to fade away and never really bothers me, so I dont think that is what is causing my shortness of breath. Its like I have to try to breath.... I want to go to the doctor but I just dont have time cause of school and work, but my dad has been giving me herbs to try and aid my breathing, which works a little, but it still bothers me, I hope its just because of stress.

Has anybody else had this shortness of breath? I hope its not "dyspnea"

 

I had and it was a combination of stress, alergies, asma and to much sex...really, i could not catch my breath at all sometimes, i went to my Doc. and he prescribe me Singular and start to relax, eat healthy, cover my self good to not feel cold at all and im ok now...

Ocasional alergies but not a giggie anymore, great sex now, no problems...

 

I have breathing problems because of stress and anxiety problems.. I do not have allergies or anything like that but the doctor said I was doing it to myself.. I also smoke pot, and I do it because alot of times it temporarily relieves my anxiety and suprisingly i breathe easier... I talked to my doctor and he told me that pot will make it worse for me in the long run. He taught me breathing exercises and suprisingly it works.. I find it hard to breathe at times and my heart rate seems to increase astronomically, he said to take abreak from what i am doing and concentrate on taking breaths while thinking about relaxing things. I swear it helps man hope it helps you

 

preciate it fellas, but when you couldn't breath was it constant? I mean its been hard for me to breath for about 2 weeks now.... was your "shortness of breath" temporary or did it last for days?

 

No mine did not last for days.. Usually there would be certain periods of the day where I would overwhelm myself with thoughts and a to do list in my head and I would start to panic and couldnt control it. My shortness of breath was temporary but reoccurring quite frequently, but during those periods I couldnt catch my breath for anything. It seemed like I just couldnt pull in enough oxygen.

Also does this happen to you alot in the morning. Maybe more severe on the morning? When I wake up everyday it usually takes me about an hour to get where I want to be.. I always wake up and start thinking about what all I have to do with my day and that really sets it off. Even when I do not have anything to do that day, I will still have the thought in my head that something is wrong or something needs done and I cant help it. And that causes me to have breathing problems

 

yea man, its usually the worst in the morning, and its not too bad during the day, and then it gets kinda bad at night.... if i sit there and think about myself not being able to breath it gets worse i guess causing im stressing/anxieting over it, usually if I watch tv or get on here and im not thinking about it, i guess im fine.... but yea morning time sucks, as soon as I wake up I realize im struggling to breath!

 

I know exactly what you mean.. But I can already tell, you are going to have nothing to worry about.. You seem like you really know what you are going for in life and you have your bike project that is going to be awesome when its done. Once you are done with school and can get into the workforce I bet things really fall into place for you. Stress really does take a huge toll on the body. I lived with 2 of my friends last year and I was lucky enough to get out that situation before it got too bad. But it was like yours with all the partying and stuff and the day I got out of that house I felt a huge weight off of my shoulders.

 

thanks fellas, today is gonna be a long day of quiet time for me.... in the comfort of my room
