Venting the mental effort it takes to breathe is insane

[waistcoat]

it is mentally taxing just to keep breathing

sometimes i genuinely just forget to breathe and then have brief moments of confusion on what the pain in my chest means

i dislike everything about being alive even breathing is a chore ffs

I also hate to breathe, live and exist. I don't want to strain my heart, I just wish it would relax and stop. Why the hell can't I tell my brain to shut down... It's all so cruel and unfair.
The brainstem continues to torment us.

I forget what drug it was, but I took way too much of something once. It wasn't an OD attempt, I just wanted to get fuckin' high. And I had to start manually breathing, my body wouldn't breathe if I didn't make myself do it. I was terrified of dying from that.

You couldn't breathe on my own, it was self-inflicted and panic. Breathing is an autonomous process that works even when you're unconscious. It's like a heartbeat. To turn them off, you have to try...
Even when people are on the brink of death, they have their last agonal breaths and exhalations.

I understand finding it painful to exist, I also hate existing, all I want is to be free from the cruel and torturous burden of existence, I wish you the best.
