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 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

So my OCD got that bad to the point where I’m barely having ocd and my body is stuck in stress, I can’t sleep, my mind is soo loud and my chest hurts and my vains are popping out and I feel like my body is shutting down what do I do ☹️ I don’t even feel like I am here I can’t focus on anything I’m always zoned out
