lakeshore, this comment of yours: 'I thought about how good you must've been at everything you did for Prem and what a loss it was when you left.' made me think. You know, I doubt that anyone even noticed my leaving. I was never one of the honchos, despite being near some of the action. But my hubby was the star of our little duo and I was always just the afterthought. No one ever reached out to ask how I was after I left hubby and Visions, and since premies were basically interchangeable to prem, I doubt any thought of me ever entered his little mind. No matter. At least I got out.
The whole breath thing was an anchor for me for years as well. Slowly over time though it just sort of faded away. Now in stressful situations I prefer to do times tables in my head. It distracts me because it takes some focus but not total concentration. LOL
