Breathing

Slayer

Does anyone else get or even understand this? I never really notice my breathing. It never enters my mind. If I sing I sing until I run out of breath/air. During the day I either take in too much air - when talking - or not enough where I start to feel dizzy and gasping. Is this an autism problem or something else?

  • ‘Letting go of control’ when anxious seems to be manifested in the breath, but  sometimes   I associate any reference to breathing with anxiety. 
    I believe that I can’t control breath - or don’t need to - but feel compelled to try in order to relax. 

    Meditators say ‘focus on breath’; I get anxious trying to meditate this way.

    to get to sleep I’ve been advised to count each breath back from 100.  Then I stay awake 

    1. wondering if they mean inhalation and exhalation as separate breaths - they feel separate - or halves of the counted bresth 

    2. thinking about my difficulties in my relationship with the person who advised me to count breaths backward in order to sleep
