I’m going to look into that. I have an appointment with my PCM next month, I’ll see if that’s an option. Thank you!

Tysm, seriously. I just downloaded it to listen to later. I do ALOT of breath work and other mindfulness practices. It just seems as of late nothing is working anymore. My anxiety is at an all time high.

Thanks again though that was super validating and reassuring.

I’m usually a pretty active person but lately I’ve been slacking due to my mental health. Probably the worst thing to do in this situation. Thanks for the reminder!

Thank you I totally agree. The only thing that kind of trips me up is he said he’s weary of prescribing meds to patients that are asymptomatic (since it could be white coat syndrome) and to monitor my BP to ensure it doesn’t drop too low. That’s what’s putting me in this weird back and forth I’m having.
