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

I'm actually abit of a worry ward but I think this is more like a mind over matter situation, I do not have access to counseling. I'm just worried about my sleep, don't want to be deprived. Otherwise I can handle it quite well but once in a while I get frustrated when thinking how I was normal b4 in the past. Thanks anyway

In my experience with anxiety, it can manifest itself in different ways.  I remember in college when I took some health classes and the professor would talk about certain diseases, some people would start to believe they had those particular symtoms for what we were discussing. It was actually pretty common in that class

Some anxiety from variuos situations is normal in my opinion, however, once it becomes something that gets in the way of 'normal' life than one must start to confront the anxiety in my opinion.  Do you have a history of anxiety?  Do have access to counseling?
