Thank you so much! It's always helpful to be reminded that I'm not alone.

My heart is with you all as well!
Lately, I my body (especially at my shoulders) gets very tense. I feel like I need to call the police sometimes to take me to the psych ward. I cry or get teary-eyed. I also start to hyperventilate. Remembering to take slow deep breaths is a challenge but also very helpful when I do.
