Hi,
I am having troubles with sensorimotor OCD related to breathing. When I'm trying to fall asleep, I always end up switching my breathing over to manual breathing which then causes me to hyperventilate and hurts my chest. I can't stop thinking about it no matter how much I try. When I try not to do the manual breathing, then I end up holding my breath for a little bit. Throughout the day I can basically forget about my breathing and it becomes automatic, but when I lay down to relax or sleep it comes back.
Also, I have COVID so I'd really like to take care of this ASAP. Unfortunately, I was dealing with it before I got COVID.
