Every time I think about my temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) or am reminded of it, it just suddenly manifests itself. I don’t know why or how this happens, and it only stops when I forget that I have TMJ or manage to distract myself. I keep getting comments from my mom that I’m forcing the clicking noise in my jaw, but it doesn’t make any sense for me to deliberately put myself through that discomfort??😭 I can’t manually make it stop bc the tension in my jaw is VERY real. This physiological reaction also happens when I get too anxious or excited. Lmk if you can relate to this bc i really don’t know what to make of it.

I have had TMJ and teeth grinding for many years. I manage it to the extent possible to a ok level . Custom made mouth guard from the dentist helps with bedtime . Relaxation techniques help during waking hours . Certain activities bring it on to a higher intensity at times , being calmer and more relaxed help indirectly in reducing the intensity and symptoms for me .

Yeah I have TMJ to and when my jaw is tense it always cracks. I also have a fear of it being stuck like that so yeah as long as I’m not thinking about it I feel fine but if I try and draw the attention away it gets tense

sensorimotor ocd with breathing

I keep getting so fixated on my breathing and then it will go away for a few months and then come back when I get stressed. It's just so frustrating I don't even understand what I'm scared of ??? Focusing on my breathing? It just feels like I have to breath manually and I can't stop thinking about it and it's just scary! And frustrating! I want to be in the moment not thinking about a completely normal bodily function! Sorry for the nonsensical rant it's just frustrating! Wondering if anyone else deals with sensorimotor ocd?
