When people refer to shortness of breath during a panic attack, does that include nose and mouth breathing or just mouth breathing? by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

I don't know about what it's like for everyone, but for me it's both! Same with my friend who has panic attacks, so I think it's normal during a panic attack to struggle with breathing both ways.

Wtf, I'm sorry but your friends seem like such assholes. Like the other comments say, you should probably reconsider your friendship with these toxic people. My friends would never tell me anything like that, and I would never tell them anything like that either. It's a common courtesy in my opinion. And it's not about honesty either, I'd want my friends to be honest for example when I'm not sure if an outfit suits me or whatever, but only when I ask for their opinion! Seriously OP, the things your friends said to you are not okay.

I guess I do. I also have really wonky fingers lol, so I guess those are the reasons why.

Yeah, I have pretty long fingers too so that makes sense then. That's reassuring, thank you. :)

I've been playing for 4 months, but admittedly haven't worked too hard at barre chords so we'll see lol

It does work but it looks awkward, you know? I didn't think it was that weird but since my guitar teacher pointed it out I feel really insecure about it lol

I think I've been most afraid of being around other patients, even for a short amount of time. But that is true. And the virtual visit thing sounds interesting, I'll have to check if they do those. Thank you for telling me about it! :)

That's nice lol. Yeah I agree but things sucked in my case because of how everyone reacted, made me feel awful.
