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.

Breathing AGAIN!!
PLEASEEE READ!! I know this sounds ridiculous but lately I’ve been soo hyperfocused on my breathing. I feel like I’m not breathing right/properly, it’s hard to explain.. it just feels wrong or like my breathing pattern is wrong. How that’s possible? I have no clue. I’ve had this all day. Has anyone ever experienced this?? My doctor keeps saying anxiety but I just feel like something isn’t right.

Hyperawareness of My Body
Hey there everyone, first I would like to say I am very grateful for every single one of you on this platform and it feels so much better knowing that I can be heard. I’ve been hyperaware of my swallowing for 1-2 month. I feel like I have so much saliva in my mouth and I have to swallow and swallow. I feel the urge to swallow even I don’t NOTHING in my mouth, so I just swallow air. This has been really overwhelming and I feel like I can be so easily latched to other body part of my part. For example, I was conscious about my blinking and breathing for a few days, and now I get so anxious when I heard a weird sound my ears make after each sentence I speak. Is this somatic ocd or health concern ocd? I am so helpless and having a hard time to shift my attention. Does anyone have any suggestions or just words of encouragement would really help me at this moment. I REALLY appreciate your help. 💗🙏 Thank you !

I’m so obsessed with my breathing.
I feel like I’m going to stop breathing and it makes it seem like an effort just to do it. I just want to be normal again and have my breathing go back to being automatic. Idk how to beat this, I’m constantly worried about it
