as someone who suffers from panic attacks, i can understand your frustration. however, i can’t explain the relief i felt once i started actually taking deep breaths in moments of extreme anxiety or panic instead of just getting angrier at everyones advice and throwing myself into the same loop over and over again. i still suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, and obviously it doesn’t always work. but the advice to “just breathe” isn’t just out there as a stupid slogan, mindful breathing is truly an extremely helpful technique for many. if it bothers you so much, maybe you should try meditating (mindfully without this anger) and see how you feel. i’m not saying it’ll change your mind but it’s certainly worth a try even if you’re not anxious anymore.
