Hi, I’m currently experiencing the same feelings you are. I’ve had to take a few days off work due to it. I’ve been watching several upbeat YouTube videos to help out with my anxiety. An it works a bit. If you need to talk I’m here, you’re not alone.

this is the worst, i know exactly how you feel! i’ve went a whole month before running on 2 hours of sleep every day & no naps or nothing. i couldnt eat or drink water at all, it’s truely the worst. and still till this day i struggle from this. im so sorry you have to go through this but there will be better days!😞 don’t try to force yourself to sleep i found that it makes it worse because you’re only stressing yourself out even more😣

I have been having the same problems. Can't eat, can't sleep well, feels like my chest is going to explode. I went on a 5 mile walk in the snow. Had nothing else i could do. Feel a little bit better. Might have to do it again though.

I’m so sorry your anxiety it so high. I don’t think I should give you any advice as to how to calm yourself down because I’d basically be telling you to do a compulsion. Have you ever heard of HALT? It stand for Hungry Angry Lonely and Tired. Any one of these 4 feelings can make our mental state even worse. Try to accept your anxiety and bring it along for the ride. It may be hard to eat but if you remember HALT, then maybe it will encourage you to eat even though you’re anxious because you’ll remember that being hungry makes things worse.

Anxious about everything
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me

Advice?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!

Urges/ intrusive thoughts
I have the thought of what if I lose control and do something out of my control like scream for no reason or yelling in a store or just blurting stuff out that’s not in my control and it causes so much anxiety and causes me to feel weird. I always think I’m on the edge of losing control of myself and it’s exhausting living like this. Any tips?
