It became intense enough to cause great discomfort and restrict my breathing, especially during the fast part. The pain subsided during POTS, though. I think what you say about the feeling being there constantly before in a milder form reflects my own experience of it (in fact, I'm feeling it right now as I write this). Maybe this is something I will be dealing with soon? Thanks for posting about it.
Hi Rhys, that's interesting.
Your experience does seem similar to mine, I remember feeling it quite intensively whenever I would think about it, such as what you described when writing your post.
Well, what I can say for myself is that the "ball type feeling" began to subside after it got so strong that I went through an emotional turmoil. This led me to take a couple of major decisions. From then on I can't say that I have been feeling calmer or more relaxed, but quite the opposite. I've been progressively being submerged in emotions, as if they are coming from the bone marrow onto the surface of my skin. And It doesn't seem that this is going to end any soon.
You might go through something entirely different, it will be interesting to see how your experience will unfold :)
Hi again Gertrudes, I wouldn't be surprised if my experience mirrors yours somewhat. Presently, talking about this ball in my chest is sending my stomach into somersaults - I think there are feelings that a part of me is doing it's utmost to suppress. I'm currently taking notes of childhood memories that are coming back to me slowly and attempting to build up a picture of how the feelings surrounding these experiences have shaped me. I know there are events I haven't acknowledged yet and "Trapped In The Mirror" is helping me uncover these things, along with EE.
I think I would have Swamped about some of this already if I hadn't have let my "worthlessness" program find reasons for me not to mention anything, but I feel I need to do more research on this (my post NEEDS to be "perfect"

I'll keep you posted! :)
