      Looking for any support. I’ve been suffering somatic ocd, obsessive breathing, anxiety etc very badly past few weeks. But it ramped up horribly two days ago,when an intrusive thought popped in saying “what if, every time I see my wife, I’m going to make myself stop breathing”. Awful, and I’ve spent the past 49 hours obsessing. My question is – the thought started two days ago, and I’ve not reacted – no trying to stop breathing etc. On this basis, can I just put it down as an intrusive thought ONLY, and try to move on?. All help and advice gratefully received. It’s absolute hell
