Anxiety and depression

Since my blood sugar is obviously not an issue (thank God), I will talk about a variety of subjects. Today will be my people who suffer from anxiety and/or depression.
Like I said before, I used to think that Anxiety could be cured by a simple breathing excersize or some relaxation techniques. After having it (as one of the symptoms of my inner ear infection) I can say, it's more complicated than that. When we were at Alexis' school (taking cover for the tornado) my inner ear started acting up on me and the Anxiety came rushing back. I started thinking about and worrying about things that I KNEW weren't issues. I have never been worryied about tornados, but I was yestarday. I know my issue is an inner ear infection but I started thinking, "What if that's not the problem?!?" I became Hyper-aware to every since thing that was happening in my body and started wondering why it was happening. It was scary. I tried to think about other things but it didn't help. The pressure from the ear went away and the anxiety followed. So, while I don't have any novel advice, I just wanted to say that I DO understand.
