Can't stop thinking about my breathing

[Gavunchung]

Hey, I haven't been able to stop thinking about my breathing for the past two days. It all started when my teacher mentioned about involuntary breathing. I had experienced this before, but this time I have trouble sleeping, and the moment I wake up I think about it. I tell my parents about it but they think it's a small matter. Someone pls help me, I want my sleep. Btw I'm 16 this year

Jess123456 you are going through what I am at this moment it's very frightening been off work three weeks now it's an living hell been brilliant b 4 that for about 12 months so believe me when I say that it will get better the anxiety of thinking about your breathing then causes depression and then you then feel a fear of hopelessness it's a vicious circle.I've cried a lot got angry and then theirs the guilt it's all locked in together.if you ever won't to talk I'm here you will get through this we have the same symptoms I don't feel so quite alone in the world thanks for posting

You should act like that’s not a big problem, so your brain is like “oh, it seems like I don’t care about this thought, best thing to do is leave it and forget it” do this for 2 months, then tell me the benefits/problems with this, also observe your heart and also try to change that habit too!

i feel for everyone that is going through this, it is horrible to have, thinking u cant breath all the time, i spend most of the day shaking and panicking, worst time for me is the mornings, i went to the doctors after 15 years of not going as i was scared there was somrthing wrong with me, she said it was anxiety and gave me sertraline, it made me ill after 3 days so stoped taking them, its hard to stop thinking about your breathing esp when its in your head 24/7, i couldnt eat, lost a stone in 10 days, couldnt sleep, i try not to let it worry me then start to relax, it calms me down a bit when i have a drink, but shouldnt have to do that, this has stopped me from being able to leave the house, i just want to be normal again, i keep thinking am i ever going to get better, if i was to stop thinkingabout my breathing then i would be better, just want it to all go away
