Thats fight or flight for you. i hate it. It know it sounds so cliche but I use the "box breathing" when I am in that and it actually works. it resets your vegal nerve and induces your body to stop sending fight or flight messages. here is a link on how to do it. I do it for like 10 minuets straight or until I start to feel my body responding positively. Also,, a REALLY HARD cry does wonders for me. it released endorphins and does something that just sends me into a sedated state . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJazKtH_9I I hold for 10 seconds , 4 didn't feel like long enough for me. adjust it to how you feel.

Yes I have been in this same place. I’ve been able to make my body do things like hallucinations and extreme shaking just by telling myself it can happen. I tend to light some incense and play some meditation music while thinking of things that make me happy. Also coloring books and word searches have helped to keep me occupied. Medication could help as well; I’m currently taking Prozac which is an antidepressant and it gives me a better mindset throughout the day thus making me more productive and happy. Just be patient, give it time and try to look into positive lifestyle choices. I’ve noticed that simply getting up and eating a healthy meal while sitting outside listening to the birds has helped me get a positive mindset for the day and it relaxes me while also giving me time to plan my day. I apologize for the long comment but I’ve struggled and am still struggling with the same thing so you’re not alone and definitely aren’t crazy. Stay positive!!!🖤🦍

This is actually the worst thing ever

Does anyone else struggle with OCD when it comes to breathing? I've had this for about two years now on and off and finally had enough and came on here to say this. When I try to explain this to other people, therapists, etc. they just don't get it, so maybe someone on here does. I literally cannot stop thinking about my breathing and when it is at its worst, the very act of breathing feels incredibly uncomfortable. It feels like the walls are closing in on me, I constantly feel like I'm having to catch my breath, and I constantly feel the urge to take a giant, "complete" breath and that is the only way I feel comfortable. It's usually manageable during the day, but at night when I try to go to sleep it's awful because when my brain has nothing else to focus on it reverts to the breathing. People tell me to just stop thinking about it but I literally cannot. Can anyone else relate or am I all alone on this one

I don’t know what’s wrong

I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy
