I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I know exactly how you feel! I know that it’s so much easier to just go on suffering in silence than confront your pain, but I promise it is the first step to feeling better. For breathing there are a ton of apps with breathing exercises. Another good one is mindfulness apps. Start off with small steps and goals as to not overwhelm yourself. Also medication and therapy in conjunction with these activities will have you feeling better in no time :)

I’m not sure what’s causing your obsession, but I do know from personal experience, if you’re not dealing with intrusive thoughts as they display themselves, they can express themselves in different ways. I would let myself know that breathing is a natural process and would let my body take over. I would redirect my focus on the thoughts that are generating these messages.

I have intrusive thoughts and it's severe about 2016, 2017 and 2018 is the year wherein i have those violent thoughts, self harming and a lot. Until this recent month, i noticed my breathing and i feel like I'm about to die. I'm so helpless. I'm a silent sufferer. I'm not yet going on any check ups. And After 2 weeks i will travel alone and i'm scared to ride on a plane because of my past experience which is panic attack. So maybe my mind is so advance to think about that so i'm here in this kind of situation right now.

You have experience this also? It's so hard. It feels like you needs a lot of air and can't breath properly.

I don't know what to do, my hands have become so numb and bruised because of constant washing hands, i have started hating each and every furniture around me, beacuse i feel they are not clean although they are being cleaned regularly but i cannot stop these thoughts. I clean my phone, bluetooth, charger with wet wipes each day, i don't touch any object around me, i am not being able to focus on my studies or anything else because of my ocd ihave stopped going out, everyone around me is so fed up of me. I have consulted so many therapists and been taking ayurvedic supplements too but nothing works. It is getting worse and worse, please if anybody can suggest me how to overcome these thoughts!

I was scrolling on here and now I’m having a panic attack. Someone posted resources and one of them was a NOCD article and I thought that was so great. I clicked on it because I like learning about this disorder and I love NOCD’s resources. But I read that one of the compulsions for pocd is watching cp? I thought that wasn’t a thing with POCD. I literally cannot breathe because I feel like this thing is now possible and I cant calm down. That was the first time I’ve ever seen that stated as a compulsion. I feel like I’m dying. What triggered my spiral in the first place was months ago someone contacted me and told me they watched it but claimed OCD and I felt absolutely horrified. I deleted my account and removed that person entirely. I am freaking out so bad I really can’t seem to breathe right now
