I think breathing exercises are great to use. I think it'd only become a compulsion if it was disrupting your life, but breathing really helps me with OCD and anxiety

Yes, it’s a breathing exercise. It’s excellent. If you do it consistently, it’ll rid a lot of your stress.

I think breathing is good because it helps to calm down the nervous system. Lowers your blood pressure too!

Advice?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!

Tips for somatic Breathing OCD
Does anyone know how to get rid of these thoughts? I have to manually breathe almost every second of everyday and it's getting tiresome and I can't stop thinking about no matter what the distractions are.

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.
