tbh single legged leg work is arduous in the best of times. I still think the best bet for you is to go back to the most basic bird dog progression aka just lifting one hand. Then once you can keep your core braced and breathe normally with that hand sweeping back and forth progress to just the opposite leg going back and forth and really focus on breathing normally. Then onto proper birddogs.
You basically have to think of this as practice for motor units in your core to start responding accurately to an ever increasing difficulty of complete volitional control.
You have to un-learn bad motor patterns that utilise the core muscles incorrectly and it's a two way street. Your core muscles are under-utilized and in some postures, over-utilized.
For instance, you even have to come up with a safe postural schema for opening and closing the door behind you because I bet there is some twisting in how you normally do it.
