Watching this after not being able to sleep for 2 hours because of not breathing right, big rip

[mimiharris]

This started recently for me and the best thing I can do to calm down or not lead to a panic attack is to stop and slow down my breathing and tell myself “it’s ok, I am here if anything happens” and just calm myself down but I do struggle with it sometimes :/ I hope this helps anyone that sees it!

I've started doing it since i got my first panic attack and now i cant stop doing it and it's giving me more attacks. What a pain this is

[jrole]

Sometimes I feel like my body gets tired of breathing and then I have to do it manually it now I can barely sleep I kno it’s mental cause when I don’t think about it it never happens but when it is happening it feels so real

[quirkliiy]

I've been aware of my breathing for a month now ! I can't think as clearly as usual now because of that, and I seriously want my breathing to go back to automatic again

Finally people in the comments who relate to my pain

[gustavsamuel]

I think what I'm dealing with is sensorimotor OCD. I keep thinking about breathing and also keep feeling anxious because of it. I am unable to even just relax. This is causing me a great deal of mental pain.

This is a long post ahead..

Three months ago, I started my work as an online english teacher, almost talking for 8 hours, then one day, just one day i couldnt breathe properly. The discomfort went on for 3 days and so i was also panicking due to covid so i was rushed to the ER. I have been to many doctors, a pulmonologist, cardiologist, and general practitioner who told me I was fine. One doctor even misdiagnosed me thinking I had reflux or GERD. My rules came out negative, it was very confusing as everything physically was fine, but i know my breathing pattern isnt. Its been three months, im suffering everyday, not a day goes by without me being teary eyes because of my breathing, i have stomach bloating, chest tightness, sometimes choking sensation on my throat. Im even contemplating to stop law school because of this. A doctor told me I have chronic hyperventilation syndrome, please help me.. no doctor has helped me, ever.. 😭 im female, only 21..

yesterday i started to think about my breathing again, i had it before a few times but it wasn't that bad like now. i tried to take a nap today because i was tired but i really couldn't fall asleep i thought about my breathing the whole time and it drove me insane. when i was about to fall asleep my body had such a weird feeling for a second and then i immediately sat up gasping for air. like that hapened probably more than 10 times. it felt like i wasn't breathing before, even tho i probably was. and everytime i was done gasping for air my body felt like it was gonna stop moving any second, like i was scared that im not gonna be able to move it anymore that's when i freaked out. i punched and pressed my fingers and hands to make my body feel normal again idk what you call that. but yeah i'm scared that im really just gonna stop breathing. even when im writing this comment im thinking about my breathing

[aashutoshkumar]

please explain to mannualy breathing and automatic breathing

[pawble]

whenever i breathe manually it makes my lungs feel uncomfy but for some reason my mind always reminds me of it so im forced to every day

[alyssa]

Me: trying to sleep

My brain: Breathing mode set to manual :)

[saburakhan]

From last 3 years i am facing this issue, all the time I am thinking about my breathing.

[Thatjeepguy]

I always think I’ll stop breathing, I have somatic ocd I think about my breathing a lot and try to breathe for myself is it normal to not feel yourself breathing?
