I couldn’t burp for 25 years… it gave me constant panic attacks bc I felt like I couldn’t breathe when gas was trapped especially after I ate. I got a procedure done a year before my extreme ocd began. But I am now afraid that all those years of constant panic attacks (which were probably way more attacks than the normal person with panic attacks or anxiety has) will have contributed to the stress and tolerance level and make me snap and do my fear. I know I won’t find anyone else who is like me and also has ocd. So I feel like I have no statistic to find relief off of. I’m so scared and I feel like I should just lock myself up incase. I wouldn’t even know if I did my harm fear or not because I have false memory ocd…

Hi there, I used to get harm ocd all the time so I completely understand the feelings your having. It’s really scary, the thoughts about the panic attack and stress is just your ocd bully feeding off the past, I had it too.. You have to try and shout almost at the bully in your head Generally the people who suffer with ocd especially this type are the most caring people because they’re so afraid of hurting others. Ocd feeds off what you value most about yourself.. so for you it’s probably that you care so much about others Your going to be okay! But it does take time
