Thinking about blinking?

Question

I can't stop thinking about blinking and have been blinking way too much because of this. It's been like this for the past few weeks. I feel like I have to control my blinking and my body just isn't taking care of it anymore. What should I do? I've tried distracting myself but it always comes back.

Thanks for all of your help.

Do you think a hypnotist might be able to make me stop thinking about it?

Answer 1

wow Laura Appleseed, i thought i was the only one who did that. i do the same thing but swallowing sometimes. then i end up doing it so much that i make my mouth uncomfortably dry. it always goes away after a while though. maybe now that you know you're not the only one who does stuff like that (i thought i was) you might not worry about it as much. and when you're not worrying about it, you're not thinking about it. good luck.

Answer 2

Sometimes I get this same thing but with swallowing. But mine usually only lasts a little while, But I keep thinking about swallowing so I swallow a lot then feel sick. You could try to do something that distracts you for a really, really long time.

Answer 4

You will get over it soon stuff like that (although not as strange :P) happens to me sometimes, nothing to worry about, but some guy told me every time you blink you get a new brain cell so it may benefit ;o

Answer 5

i do the same when i breathe sometimes, thinking about makes it worse, just try to forget and go do something else, it can be very annoying though, sorry
