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 !
Have been struggling with somatic breathing ocd. I start feeling like I can’t breathe and start feeling faint. I have a performance this weekend and my biggest fear is that I won’t be able to sing. I worry that I’m not gonna be able to perform cause it also causes a wave of fear and I’m scared I’m gonna feel too faint where I’m gonna have to go run off stage. I start hyperventilating and I don’t know how to stop it. My mind just makes me aware and then I eventually start hyperventilating. Any tips? I’ve tried just acknowledging it but it hasn’t helped the hyperventilating much. Any tips please? I have to go on stage for tech in 50 mins
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.
I don't have panic attacks at this moment, but i realized if i will have again I don't know how to stop it, there's people who say "trying to stop it feeds more" and that's why i get stuck with it cause then i try to sit with it and i just get stuck or go with the panic. Many times when i try to stop feeding itit gets worse, i think that im doing something wrong or i just feel like it does not work cause when i try to stop the panic gets stronger, then im panicking over do I take the danger seriously. I try deep breathing and moving my attention but i know i do that to avoid the panic which makes me panic more. And then i feel angry cause people say "sit with it" and i dont know what they mean, like everytime i get a panic just accept defeat, lay down and wait till all the symptoms just goes away... cause you cant control it. So if i want to face it, accept i might faint, vomit, get taken to the hospital, and just face it. These are the more negative ones I know, but even with others i feel like its defeat cause I have to stop whatever i do and i need to accept that panic will take me wherever it wants... Im open to change my opinion over this, but with the "accept it" menthod i feel like it looks like this and thats why I don't like it. How do you deal with panic? Do you stop it or you always give that moment to the panic?
