In the end though, the trick is to not think about breathing.
For most people, as soon as you actually stop thinking about it, your
breathing will return to normal.
Its very hard to let go, sometimes keeping busy can help. Anxiety
about it only makes it worse. For many people, relaxation techniques
such as meditation, yoga and deep relaxation work well.
It can take some work to even get into the state where you can accept
and learn these techniques; many people require prescription
medication, therapy etc. Without knowing where you are it its hard to
say what you need to do, but this info may help.
