Do you A. Just let yourself keep yawning and learn to not care B. Try to stop or suppress the yawning Trigger warning only because I don’t want all the Somatics to start yawning
A. I recently had a situation where I couldn't finish sneezes (unrelated to OCD). Using my OCD training, I just accepted that I may or may not sneeze. In this case, it didn't take long to correct itself.
@Ben84 😮 I lost my sneezes too. It happened a couple months ago. I could get to the inhale/about to sneeze part, but then my mind would jump in and not let me actually sneeze. That’s how mine corrected itself too, same as you. I just said Oh well, I guess I’ll never sneeze again. And then I got the sneezes back. I actually do think it has something to do with OCD. It felt like yet another OCD game. The mind is very powerful. Thanks Ben
I didn’t realize this was related to my ocd that’s crazy NO ONE has understood the yawning thing I won’t be able to yawn for weeks at a time. Drives me nuts !
Does anyone else struggle with OCD when it comes to breathing? I've had this for about two years now on and off and finally had enough and came on here to say this. When I try to explain this to other people, therapists, etc. they just don't get it, so maybe someone on here does. I literally cannot stop thinking about my breathing and when it is at its worst, the very act of breathing feels incredibly uncomfortable. It feels like the walls are closing in on me, I constantly feel like I'm having to catch my breath, and I constantly feel the urge to take a giant, "complete" breath and that is the only way I feel comfortable. It's usually manageable during the day, but at night when I try to go to sleep it's awful because when my brain has nothing else to focus on it reverts to the breathing. People tell me to just stop thinking about it but I literally cannot. Can anyone else relate or am I all alone on this one
Hi , I have Sensorimotor Ocd and i dont know exactly what to do because it feels like everythings a trigger and i just want to be alone without it , Every day after school i want to watch tv , Play Video Games or just lay in my bed in peace after an exausting day but i cant stop thinking about my sensations and i basically have all of them Swallowing , Breathing , Saliva and Blinking. Every time i research it triggers something even more and im just wondering how to stop getting triggered.
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.
