Strange But Serious Question?

Question

I went through a hard stressed period in my life for about 2 years. In doctor visits they always made me try these 'breathing exerices'. Okay so I decided to try them, afterwards I would get these feelings that I have to breathe on my own for me to acctually feel like i'm breathing, due to the stress I had, sometimes I would breathe fast, but gain the rate again, [but i never had this 'i cant breathe on my own feeling' till i tried the exerices] theres still moments now where i feel like i can't breathe on my own and have to tell myself to breathe & I freak out, i honestly think it's due to the 'breathing exerices' i coped with. Just out of curosity and a state of mind question, I'm trying to aim for a 10-12 hour sleep So i can clear my mind with this whole 'control breathing feeling' honestly its ruined me for a while now, do you think sleeping will make me feel rejenuvited? Thank you for reading this :).

Answer 1

You seriously need a stress buster.  As for breathing exercise, it is not something that should be a problem for you unless you tend to make everyone seem like a big problem.  Breathing exercise only help you body gain extra oxygen.  Every cell in your body has a nucleus (brain), and every nucleus needs oxygen.  By breathing exercise you take in 10 to 15% extra oxygen, and that should help to rejuvenate you if you can't get too many hours of rest.   Do the exercise in an open area, and do it slowly and keeping your mind on the breathing.  You feel as if you need to breath, cause you are getting extra oxygen, and when you breath normal, you feel suffocation.  SO if you do these exercise everyday without fail for 1/2 to 1 hour in morning or whenever you have sufficient time, you will get use to it and it will lessen your stress, and so when you are free of stress you won't feel the anxiety that will cause breathlessness.  You need to loose that stress first.  Get a Hobie, keep busy when not at work, at something that YOU ENJOY doing.  Painting loosens me and releases some of my stress.  Too much sleep will do more harm then good.  Wake up when your eyes are open and go to sleep when you are really tired, that way you will fall asleep sooner.  Going to bed when you are not sleepy will not put you to sleep and please don't even be thinking of taking pills.  LIght yoga or meditation or a long walk will keep you fresh all day long, and able to handle stress.

I think I lost you on about the third spiral.

I think it must be about two or three o' clock in the morning where you are, a time when normally rational people start to think in strange ways.

Yes, sleeping will make you feel rejuvenated.

I would suggest other relaxation techniques, but I honestly suspect you would obsess over those poor, endless sheep or anything else that you tried.

Can you take a warm bath and read a book? For sure you need to turn off the computer.

Ha! I loved Emergency! when I was a kid. It's pretty funny to watch the episodes on Netflix, when you're used to watching more modern TV shows.

Answer 3

The way you wrote the question makes you seem a little crazy, but I can actually relate. It use to happen when I was a kid when I was watching this show called "Emergency" they would always have someone on that show that was having a hard time breathing. By the end of the show I would be gasping for air. I didn't know what the problem was when I was a kid but I stopped watching the show and the problem went away. Now that I am adult I realize the show was making me aware of my breathing and therefore it was making it hard for me to breath because it went from being automatic to being manual. If the breathing exercises are bothering you that much you should stop doing them.
