I had noticed about a year ago that she began to inhale really really deeply likea huge sigh. When I noticed it I asked her what was wrong and she said nothing.
She said "nothing" because you asked her what is WRONG. Any answer other than "nothing" would be her verifying your belief that something is wrong with her. Instead, ask "how are you feeling?" Whatever feelings she gets into, just listen intently and validate. Don't try to fix her!
Slowly became ever day, then multilevel times a day, then every 20 mins or so. Like something is suffocating her.
She had a panic attack a month before BD and then went to see a therapist who prescribed her zoloft A/D. The symptom didn't go away for the two months following.
Then, around the time that OM came in the picture (I didn't know at the time but now I know the timeline), the sighing stopped completely. I guess does that signal happiness? I remember telling her hey your sigh is gone! She said yes the meds are finally helping.
Haven't heard the sigh since. Until yesterday....
She got back from two days with OM. I had the house clean, fixed a few things around the house, D3 was dressed nice, I had shaved...all the stuff I have been doing for 2 months since BD.
She came in and noticed the house but didn't comment of course. Then the sigh came on maybe two or three times the first hour she was back. Then stopped.
Not sure what to make of it if anything. Anyone else notice anything like this?
