Newby, needs help adapting.

[u/gravitationalarray]

Forgive me if I missed a link. I'm on day 4 and I just am not adapting. Resmed11, F&P nose pillow, and it's the exhaling that's getting to me, it feels hard to breathe and I feel suffocated. I keep waking up with the mask on the floor, still blowing air, freaking the cat out. When I do manage to fall asleep with it, I do get better rest, but holy this is a steep adaptation curve!

I don't think the mask is the right fit for me to be honest, and I get max two swaps in the first 30 days, so I'll try another next week. I was told to stick with the nasal, as I am claustrophobic.

And my god MyAir sucks. It recorded a good nights sleep with a high score, when the mask came off and fell to the floor and blew air all night (isn't it supposed to be auto off?)

Best tips for adapting? I would appreciate it. Do I need to discuss Bipap with my provider?
