I have been in a funk of sorts since I returned from Uganda and have found it almost difficult to breathe at times. I don't know if it's the malaria pills or the below freezing temperatures, but there are times when it feels as though someone is trying to stop me from breathing...there are times when it feels as if I'm drowning, times when it feels as if there is something caught in my throat, and other times when I feel like everything is falling in on me causing me to feel claustrophobic. In all of these times I feel an instant urge to run outside as fast as I can, chasing my breathe into the darkness. I feel the need to get out. I feel the need to leave.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN...well in my own way i'm sure...but still!
ReplyDeletei constantly feel like some force is pushing my shoulders down & i just want it to go away so i can breathe.
