Calmigo - My Go-To for Anxiety Attacks
I’ve struggled with anxiety most of my life, but in the last few years it has really become an issue. I lost a 3-year old daughter, my married fell apart, my oldest son was diagnosed with Leukemia and 2020 took a toll on my financial stability. These extradorinaiy events took the small flame of anxiety in my life and added fuel to fire, till it became an uncontrollable blaze. I started having anxiety attacks, couldn’t think straight and was overwhelmed at the smallest details of everyday life. During the last few years, I’ve tried everything I could think of to help me cope with the high level of anxiety I’ve been facing. I take herbs, go to the gym, practice journaling and tried breathing techniques.
Most of these coping skills helped some, but the breathing exercises were always frustrating and hard to know if I was doing it right. Many times, I would find a breathing technique on YouTube and sit there, trying to follow the instructor, but would become agitated because I felt lost and couldn’t figure out if I was doing it correctly. For a while I stopped the breathing exercises because the idea of them would bring on more anxiety, rather than help me. It was disappointing to me because I heard so many success stories related to breathing techniques as a way to cope with anxiety, but for some reason I couldn’t get it right.
A few months ago, I stumbled upon a device that promotes breathing techniques for the very purpose I was looking for. Calmigo, is a portable device that takes the guesswork out of knowing if I am doing the technique correctly. It’s small, simple to use and all natural. I gave it shot and was surprised at how much it helped. I read the directions, which were super easy to understand, and did exactly as it described. After using it for about 3 to 4 minutes, I noticed the physical symptoms of my anxiety calming down. Along with that, the racing thoughts and sense of overwhelm followed suite.
I’ve now been using Calmigo for a few months, especially when I get hit with an unexpected anxiety attack. It has become one of my go-to tools to help me overcome some of the most intense moments. Not only does it walk me through the breathing exercises but it comes with a calming sent of choice, using aromatherapy to trigger a sense of safety and calm in my mind. I love that it’s all natural and uses my own body to help itself in moments of panic and fear. Because I travel a lot, I take it with me in my book bag on the airplane, Ubers and wherever else my feet travel. It’s become my go-to when I don’t have time or access to other avenues for help. It’s so cool because the device has technology that learns your breathing patterns and helps regulate your breathing tailored to your unique patterns.
