It's an anxiety symptom. You absolutely will not stop breathing. You're just focused on breathing, which means it's become a more conscious task for you than it would normally be.

Honestly, you absolutely will not stop breathing. Managing your anxiety will help you feel more normal again.

Try and hold your breathe for as long as you can and see what happens.

Your brain will force you to breathe even if you don't want to.

You don't have say in it.
