i always had this weird breathing obsession when it hink about breathing it feels like i can't breath very well. anyways i have the same thing now, but whenever i think about it i get elephant breathing mean it feels like their is an elephant on my chest. it's been off/on but right now it's really bad and it won't go away. i know it's all in my head but it's still not going away. i know your gunna think im weird but does anyone else get this? i dont know what to do

it's horrible i can't even have fun with my friends cause my chest feels so tight

the only comfort i get is when im sleeping

Ah, there's nothing wrong with that, hun. It's actually not that weird. It's caused by anxiety; I used to have the exact same problem. When you feel anxious, and you think about breathing, you become more nervous; then your diaphragm tightens up, making it harder to breathe.

I suggest seeing a doctor. They can prescribe you medication to help with the anxiety, so you won't have this problem anymore.
