I've had moments where I forget to breathe while playing a map, but more often its the lack of blinking XD

I don't think I forget to breathe (I may do it without realising, hell if I know) but I definitely do get tense from being nervous. I feel my stomach tensing up mainly.

Heh, usually when I am doing a hard song I breathe really loud so I have to mute my mic if I am in a call.

If I'm on a good score, I don't feel it until after the song has finished. Then I'm an absolute mess gasping for air and trembling like mad xD

I've had this problem my entire life. It's just habit now I don't even notice it so sadly I don't have any tips other than saying

BREATH!

I'd say more of a problem is when you think about breathing and you're stuck manually breathing for the rest of the song

Hold your breath is normal, in precision sports like archery is used to improve accuracy.

Yea - he's probably trying to steady his tablet/mouse hand. It's normal for a lot of other things, too.

I get to know of really weird people in this forum in every passing day...

Read a book, do something else that takes concentration and make sure your breath rate is normal. Also, it should be fine as long as you don't suicide

Thanks for the feedback :D
Near reading the end of the 2nd page of this it started to look a bit weird but :P (Including a post that took so much effort to read I just skipped it)
xD I guess I'll just try to pay more attention to breathing while playing and try to relax then.

(Dat FC tho)

I have had moments where I was gasping and shaking when I'm doing really good on a song (but then I miss the last note with sudden death on and need to start over again without it)

Well no worries... you can't kill yourself the most you can is pass out xD

On a more serious note, then try to take it a bit less serious and breathe.

Sometimes when I'm FCing a really difficult song I will forget to swallow my saliva and I end up choking on my own spit :|

Concentration often requires sacrificing all other bodily functions except your hands and eyes.

At least when the challenge is great enough.

That's obviously a little extreme, though. lol.

I forget to (consciously) breathe all the time
then when I notice something wrong with my breathing patterns, boom missed a circle

I've sometimes found myself holding my breath at the end of a map with a long combo, but I've never actually gasped because I was subconsciously holding my breath.

My friends tell me over VOIP all the time that I stop breathing when I start focusing and actually do good.
I'm like to myself "I should just stop breathing all together"
Next thing i'm passed out on my keyboard and we lost that game. Took forever to clean the drool out of this keyboard.

When I play Harder songs on Osu, I tend to forget to breathe because I'm trying to focus on the notes. :? Do any of you have similar problems? How can I avoid this as it makes me dizzy at the end of the song? This feels like a silly question but I want to be able to focus on the notes.
I noticed myself not breathing a few times. Upon noticing, I would just force myself to breath through the rest of the song (thus losing some concentration on osu! and missing beats).

For now, I just don't worry about it, but I imagine the suggestions about relaxing, while they would probably work, is easier said than done... maybe anyway. Should probably just try it at some point though myself and see :p

We should just merge this thread with the thread about osu hurting eyes lol.

either your story is fake, or you have a mental problem.

What the fuck with people forgetting to breathe / phisically hurting themselves (if you don't consider carpal tunnel) playing a fucking circle clicking videogame ROFL

Clicking circles is serious business.
