When I frustrated about this ringing in my ear and become even more louder
I've had sensorimotor obsessions for years now, including ear ringing. I had a bad bout with ear ringing obsession when I was twelves, and more or less struggled with blinking for a couple years now. The key is to not try to get rid of these obsessions when they come. Like when your mind focuses on the ringing, or the breathing, just observing it, for as long as it wants to stay. Learn to get comfortable with life while coexisting with this obsession, your goal isn't to get rid of it. It seems hard at first, but this acceptence gets easier with time. I have overcome this obsession before and honestly if handled correctly, it isn't so bad. Happy New year's!
Hi
@Chk168 Do you go to Audiologists for it
I used to Have panic attacks as a child because I thought if My ear rang I was being possessed because the pressure in my ear would change. I think it's just the altitude I dont know but dont be scared ❤ it's normal. Breathe deeply when you hear your ear ring the ringing will stop. Dont freak out because you're "observing" the ringing . When it goes away continue on with whatever you were doing before it rang.
No offense but this is kinda bad advice for this type of ocd. When you have a sensorimotor obsessions, it doesn't go away. You brain is hyper aware and focused on something, and if you think about it, there's ringing in your ears all the time. The key is to accept it and not try to get rid of it
@russelicott I kind of feel my heart beat so fast and the ringing get louder
I have severe sensorimotor obssession about my breathing i dont know what to do
Anybody struggle with thinking you have schizophrenia or are slowly developing it? Mine just kinda popped up out of the blue today. Idk why I have a sudden feeling that I might hear or see something that nobody else will hear or see. I just feel like I’m stuck in my own head and I might act out of impulse. It’s making me feel anxious, uncomfortable, and worried that something might be wrong with me. I even feel like covering my ears so I can calm myself down with some piece and quiet. Please tell me someone else knows what I’m talking about
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?
