Experiencing Shortness of Breath with GAD

Yes!! I used to experience this bad as a kid! I used to get shortness of breath often because I used to get so anxious, and they would give me a paper bag. It still happens to me today every now and then but I find tapping alternatively with your hands on your chest and focusing on your breathing helps, as well as grounding exercises like 5 things you can touch, 4 things you can see, and so on.

I also experience this, unfortunately. Have you tried doing breathing exercises when it happens? I do those until the shortness of breath subsides.

It has happened to me before, i was told to breathe into a paper bag, honestly a gave mask worked better for me, and it didn't look as silly hehe
