Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm scared I'll stop breathing :( I know its an involuntary thing,

but sometimes I'm afraid I'll stop myself from breathing. It's weird. Anyone else like this? Am I normal? I THINK about breathing sometimes. I feel like if i forget to breathe I'll die.

    silly. you dont have to worry that you might forget to breath and youll die because breathing is automatic. breathing is regulated by our brain stem. it has automaticity which makes it work whether were awake or asleep. the brain stem sends impulses to your lungs, diaphragm and other accessory muscles to inhale and exhale. :) exercise a lot, take care of yourself, dont smoke, and dont get involve with drugs. those are the best ways to save your lungs and brain so you wont have any difficulty breathing.
