A simple word as breathing.

I think most of us have forgotten the main principle of just learning to breathe. Most of us think we're breathing naturally but we are not. We let (I'm going to call it 'gases') build up in our bodies. I can't too sure be correct but there is a matter that builds up in us. We've essentially stopped our breath. That's the cause of patm reactions. At this stage this is what I feel. To bring our breath back is a tonne of work. But it doesn't have to be if you can adjust to your breathing again. To know you're definitely breathing and not causing change in your breathing is simple. Breathing. It's actually as simple as that. Find yourself by breathing back into your own space. SMELL. Ooh who hates that word? I use to but not anymore! Maybe smell is not dictative of your current situation but whatever worrd you loathe. Learn to look past it. It takes alot of finding your breath. The only reason I appear to smell if even is because of obsessions. Nothing else. Being obsessed in other words forgetting about everything and focusing on one thing.

Come on people. We deserve to breathe. Stop hating on yourselves and breathe freely. Start living by first start breathing life back into your lives one more time. Start remaining positive despite the negattive issues happening around you. Do what you want to do and CAN do.

I'm not one to leave others behind while I cure myself but in fact the opposite. That's why I keep returning to these sites, make sure no one lives in a patm only dictated life. Nothing makes me really upset other than pain inflicted on animals but patm is one that really hurts me. I've decreased patm in a month for but it returned with a vengeance after my temporary breakthrough but I was able to look more deeply into what was happening to me and take that away and work from there and thats what I've been doing. I don't truthfully believe in a product to successfully releive us from living a patm life.

Your breath is my breath. We are able to somehow connect to people using our breath as feelings. But you need to know now, it's okay. Breath is natural. At the current moment we are not living I.e. breathing naturally. Once we got that sorted out everything else follows it's way into a place. I'm only here to encourage people. I can't physically change anything, you must know that. We've already learnt skills to cope with patm - you don't realise this but you are still here, still surviving amidst patm. It's our bodies natural defnse mechanism. Depression also plays a big part. Not feeling doing anything with enjoyment.

I know I Keep knocking on about breath but once you have that ingrained in yourself you won't have to worry anymore and give these patm freedom of space. Don't look at this as a cure but a way to remain FREE.

When I talk breath I don't mean breathing just from out your mouths but allowing your self (body included) to let free. Good luck!

This has been one hell of a journey. One I wont be forgetting in such short notice but I've learned alot from patm that I wouldn't have ever understood before. For that I remain grateful. Of course I would much prefer a life without patm ever entered my door but this has been the harsh reality and this is what I'll be working with for the past, present and future.

Hey I tried the breathing, it works sometimes, but when I eat it comes back
That's fine. Keep up the natural breathing process to live a more productive and less discomfort in your life. It's not easy especially being mentally attached to this but you need to let go and move on. It's tricky, I agree epecially when you were brought up your whole life thinking it to be true as if something was wrong with you and your belief system was already set up letting it grow and develop to now what we call patm.

Anyone agree with my suggested feelings or would like to discuss further in talk please feel free to personally message me. I am your struggle and your struggle is mine. Also I will provide you with my mobile number as it's easier to have faster conversations and maybe even a chance to break free from all this drama that's been inevitably created in our lives.

Of course you're breathing. Don't get me wrong, but naturally allowing your body to breath is something you will need to fuse in as oppose to letting you (and your fear) erratically let in breathe.  Once you've regained that MY Breath stage you will naturally get on with the normal stuff you want to do. We've essentially learned to cause change to our breath with other emotional feelings. Please people don't be scared to breathe. You deserve life and that first comes from your breath.

I actually agree with you, last week on the bus i realised i haven't really breathed properly before patm. Cause i was always self conscious about my breath so i would suck in my gut and close my mouth everytime. While on the bus i kept taking deep breathes and somehow reacts did reduce. And when i was at college i took deep breathes and i realised my fingers and whole arm felt tingling. Almost like a feeling of being able to put fresh oxygen back into my body And releasing old oxygen.

Well done. Keep practising that way. You will undoubtedly see results if not improve your overall well being. This is not by all means a definite cure but a better way to live by all means in a calm state rather than in a confused/panic/anxious/depressed manner. My ultimate goal would to be help people like ourselves particularly the ones on this forum live better more functioning and meaningful lives rather than a patm life.
