How do you breathe without consciously thinking about it?
It used to be natural, then someone suggested meditation and told me to concentrate on my breathing. Breathe in, breathe out.
Now I can’t seem to breathe without consciously thinking “breathe in” or “breathe out”
This was 7 months ago. I haven’t slept. I’m afraid I won’t wake up again because I’ll stop breathing! Even as I type this, I have to tell myself to breathe in every 15 seconds or so, and then tell myself to exhale again.
Seriously. My relationships have suffered. My professional life has suffered. My family has suffered.
I’m at the end of my rope. Someone please help me!!!
