Feeling like I can’t breathe

Posted , 3 users are following.

I’ve been having this feeling for like 4 days now and it feels like I have to make myself breathe and I feel like I’m overthinking the breathing too much without letting my own self breathe on its own!! I’m really struggling, I don’t have any heart problems or allergies but I do have anxiety and depression along with ocd! Anyone else ever felt this way?? If so what did you do to help it

    You say you are having problems breathing, can I suggest, try and stop breathing ! your body will soon tell you to fill those lungs, this is a natural and essential activity and your brain will not let you die from lack of breath.

    You can try breathing  techniques, I think there is a section explaining this on site or you may find explanations on the web
