When my anxiety attacks began, I was lost, I had no idea what to do and I was extremely desperate to get my anxiety under control. Every product and program that showed up in my email, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, I tried. The Calmigo was one that I had been aware of for a long time, so I gave it a try.
As I mentioned, I’ve been seeing the Calmigo for ages and of course, with my iPhone listening to everything I say, it knew that my anxiety had peaked and the Calmigo had been showing up nonstop. So I bought one. Here are my quick thoughts on the device.
I don’t think it helped me one bit. The Calmigo is just a device that you breathe into and it is supposed to help you calm down. It has little scent tags that tend to come off all the time and it allegedly helps you breathe in a way that tells your central nervous system to chillax. The problem is, when I felt this anxiety, the Calmigo wasn’t helping me relax at all.
You don’t need to pay all this money to breathe properly to calm down. You can simply just breathe on your own. Go on YouTube, try mindful breathing, and see if it helps. Save your money. Oftentimes, the little light wouldn’t even go on when I was breathing. I had to adjust the angle for the little internal bead to work and beep for a new breath. Also, if you try to use this in the dark, that bright light will just make you more anxious. LOL.
Conceptually, this is a good idea, but you can do this on your own without buying this expensive gadget. Those commercials you see are full of crap cause I didn’t feel any improvement.
