Trigger warning- specific OCD problem
Currently having ocd about breathing and the thought I need to regulate it 24/7 to stay alive. I’ve tried every logic: babies don’t need to regulate so you don’t either, you sleep without needing to regulate/people go into a coma not needing to regulate their breathing etc. It’s a silly question (anyone with OCD would know you doubt your own thoughts), but I just need to know many people don’t think about their breathing 24/7. I know this is a compulsion and I’m ’not supposed to ask for reassurance,’ but I can’t keep going like this and answers would be appreciated. Thank you!
