All my demons are visiting tonight
Don't know why, but my toddler woke me at 2am and now every time I close my eyes a new and different terrible thing comes into my head. Got to get up for work in three hours and my head is full of demons. Thanks for existing, Imgur; it's so much better to be here than in my head right now.

I inhaled by mistake before exhaling .. Didn't work

My brain capacity is incredibly low and I stay alive each day thanks to this gif reminding me.

Just started to die cause of coughing
MechBearPig
yeah bro you must have some terrible demons that breathing makes them go away
askaglassofwater
Focusing on the 'here and now', such as your breathing, can help stop the destructive thought loop
MechBearPig
I mean if your bitch, sure

Breathing skill has reached 27. Breathing skill has reached 28. Breathing skill has reached 29. When does this GIF end?

I, too, have a toddler and depression. Send me a DM if ya ever need to.
Somethingwittyandunique
Thank you - my depression has gotten a lot better but I still have tough times. Hope you're getting there too x
Somethingwittyandunique
You're all incredible; I appreciate your wit, humour and support. Thank you to all those who shared their pain; I appreciate you.

I exhaled when it said inhale and vice versa. Without noticing at first... *hides in shame*

You can never fully exhale, there will always be some air left

Why shallow breathing ?

Sleep will find you at some point, trust that it'll come :-)

I've so led for 15 years, I can't breath like this or I'll pass out. I want to support you tho. Please send help.

/sendshelp - good luck kind stranger

someone needs to make one of these where the time in between breaths is 20 seconds or something just to try and hurt people
HelloIAmAnInnocentBystander
That one is still too fast for me, I'm up for a 20s cycle one!
Somethingwittyandunique
Some people just want to watch the world asphyxiate...

Try the 4-7-8 breathing method - it always helps calm me and get me ready to sleep!
danemackey
100% effective method for falling asleep. Use your heartbeats to count. Seriously works every time! Can take a while though. Be patient.
SkiFreeCK
How do you do it?
peashootsandbeans
Just google for steps. Basically as outlined in the other comment. I find keeping my tongue in one place behind my teeth helps
TheCrocodileInTheMoatOfTheWastedCastle
Count to 4 while you inhale, count to 7 while you hold your breath. Count to 8 while you exhale. Repeat.
ManFromGallifrey
This is harsh. I know. But you have a toddler. You NEED to be strong. You have undertaken a burden so immense and fantastic that most 1/2
ManFromGallifrey
cannot even imagine. You have a burden and a gift all at the same time. You can kick those demons asses. You have or you will have faced 1/2
ManFromGallifrey
Worse. (I lie about the 1/2 thing.) We believe. As a collective there is no greater hope than those who can take care of themselves AND 1/2
ManFromGallifrey
another human being. My god. You are the strongest of us.
Somethingwittyandunique
You're gorgeous, and I hope you're 10, cause he's my favourite. I have two toddlers. You made me feel like a superhero xx
ManFromGallifrey
think of it like this. I'm 21 without a cause and I've looked back on your words 5 times already. You'll be a damn good parent. :)
madamvastra
I'm grieving a loved one. I've started having full, I'm-gonna-die panic attacks when I try to go to bed. Maybe I'll just never sleep again.
Somethingwittyandunique
My thoughts are with you, wishing you the strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Somethingwittyandunique
You poor love, I was the same when I lost my parents, and my grandpa died last week. It does get better, you just have to ride it out.
madamvastra
But thanks for the gif. When I'm getting anxious, I often forget to breathe til my chest starts hurting.
GothKirby
Hey friend. As a person who used to have frequent panic and anxiety attacks, I could offer you a little advice if you'd like. 1/2
GothKirby
2/2 it certainly won't cure you but it may help you to cope with them for now or at least lessen your symptoms :)
madamvastra
Thanks! I'd be interested in hearing about it. I've had panic attacks off & on since childhood & never figured out anything that helped.
GothKirby
I'll message you on pm when I get on my computer :)
Somethingwittyandunique
I'll take any advice you want to share; sounds like a few of us need it :)
GothKirby
I'll pm you soon, comments are difficult bc character limits. I could also make a post but it may die in user sub
Somethingwittyandunique
If you do make a post, tag me in it so that I can learn, favourite and upvote :)
GothKirby
Made the post, I'll tag you (gonna pm you soon too)
TheOneAndOnlySomething
I feel you. Recently lost a 9 year relationship. Bed time is a prolonged panic attack. Was prescribed sleeping pills but I seem to be immune
Somethingwittyandunique
Sorry to hear it, my only way around it is distraction till I get so tired I fall asleep (usually with my phone on my face)
TheOneAndOnlySomething
Yeah I practically spoon with my phone now lol. Doctor recommended Mindfulness meditation so we'll see where that goes. Fingers crossed
Somethingwittyandunique
Mine said the same. I've started at three minutes per day - it is the longest three minutes I've ever experienced but I'm sticking with it
Somethingwittyandunique
Good luck my friend
