Shakiness
Does anybody experience shakiness/hand tremors with anxiety or OCD? I've been shaking so bad today and I'm obsessing over my health because of it. Like what if I have untreated diabetes?

YES. I even feel like “weak” feelings in my hands when I try to hold things and sometimes touching things even bothers my hands or tickles. It’s hard to describe. I almost have sensory issues in my hands during ocd/anxiety. Doubt it’s diabetes. Anxiety and ocd causes so many physical symptoms
This makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the insight, it really helps me to know that others experience the same thing
I get muscle spasms sometimes when my thoughts are particularly nasty- like my body is fighting them off!
I'm having awful stomach pain and nausea and it's really worrying me and scaring me
This list by ai gives a good summary of my symptoms. Does it resemble OCD or is it something else? 1. Compulsions (OCD-specific behaviors): • Feeling the need to flex or contract muscles an even number of times, equally on both sides of your body. • Needing to reverse actions (for example, if you roll your eyes or trace a line with your finger, you feel compelled to do it again in the exact opposite way). 2. Intrusive Thoughts (OCD-specific ruminations): • Daydreaming about people you care about getting hurt (e.g., school shooting, injury, or kidnapping). • Sometimes feeling like you might want something bad to happen to someone you find attractive—possibly because of a desire to help or save them, though it’s confusing. • These thoughts can sometimes provide a twisted sense of relief while remaining distressing and confusing. 3. Sexual Orientation OCD: • Experiencing confusion or doubt about your sexual orientation. 4. Contamination Thoughts: • Feeling like things are contaminated, especially after touching something gross. 5. Sensory Compulsions: • Feeling the need to smell your hand after touching areas like your ear or hair. 6. ADHD-like Symptoms / Additional Observations: • Fidgeting or moving your legs when standing or sitting.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I wake up early with severe, severe anxiety and nothing seems to help. I try embracing the anxiety, breathing, and exercising. But these things only seem to help a little. Fortunately, I do think the length of the attacks are getting shorter (mainly because I'm still trying my best to live normally in spite of them), but they are still lasting a good 5-6 hours. They are quite debilitating. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with these? I've read much about potential solutions (being okay with the anxiety), but I was looking for some personal antecdotes. Thank you
