Help Does anyone else just stops breathing sometimes ?

[Ilfryth]

Like idk, sometimes I'm just laying down bored or something and I stop breathing. I have to kind of force myself to breathe again. It doesn't feel physical (as if there was something wrong witj my lungs) more like my brain forgets or doesn't bother to anymore.

Anyone else with constant ideation had/has this ? I feel like even my subconscious is trying to kill me now

What do you think would happen if you didn't force yourself to breathe? Do you think you would just pass out?

No idea honestly, I'm inclined to believe so but while getting closer it's likely I'd panic and gasp for air

all the time. when i was a kid i would hold my breath to dissociate or to stop making any noise and now i do it without intending to. whenever im stressed i have to remind myself how to breathe normally, hahaha

only when i get like super stressed. sometimes i get panic attacks that are kinda weird cus i don't hyperventilate i just basically completely stop breathing (and sometimes my heart rate slows instead of rising? idfk.) and have to like force myself to take breaths cus it feels like i cant breathe
