Cereal: following Dr. Google, I found an amazing website on coping with anxiety, well named Anxieties.com. I was looking at the breathing section of the Calming Method, and holy fuck, I've been doing deep breathing all wrong. I've always pushed out my chest when deep breathing instead of letting my stomach protrude, and it makes a huge difference! Stupid singing teachers!

Singing teachers should have been teaching you to use your diaphragm, too.

That finishes off the very last subject in my Master of Finance.
Dude, well done! What next sounds like a valid question.

There was lots of talk about putting shoulders back as you breathe in. And they never said *how* to use the diaphragm. Also, I was in the 6th grade, what did I know? I just care that this shit is working.

Master of Finance sounds like it should come with a lot more power than it does.

Paging Teppy the medicine goddess--I'm on antibiotics for a shin wound that is being crotchety, and I've been having ongoing anxiety worse than my typical anxiousness. So I Googled (bad Dr. Google) and found several references to antibiotics, specifically one I'm on, exacerbating existing anxiety. Is this a thing, or am I falling prey to anec-data? Heck, just knowing it may be a drug interaction cuts a lot of the vicious circle in my head.
I'm pretty sure it's a thing. Which antibiotic?

Wow, billytea, congratulations!
Welcome to the wonderful world of diaphragmatic breathing, Connie! Better late than never.

We don't know how much power it comes with yet. Have you tested your limits, bt?
