Breathing
Sometimes it’s not even that I feel like I’m not breathing, it’s my intrusive thoughts that make me feel like I’m suffocating

So sorry. Do you have an ERP therapist to help you with this?
@Erin P Yes but I haven’t be able to speak to her in a couple weeks because I need to make a payment

@Erin P Thank you!!
@Whyyocd You’re welcome - I hope u find them helpful.
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.
Intrusive thoughts are unwanted and cause stress which mine do but also when I’m mad I get this rage feeling and say I wanna stab someone like that feels like a. Want not intrusive why am I saying “ I wanna “ :(
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
