anxiety curves in ocd are actually pretty weird. ive learned a thing or two about them from experience that i think can explain a bit when we develop a theme of ocd we actually get mad amounts of anxiety and we start thinking alot more about every single thing, so our idle brain actually is in fight or flight mode even tho we really doesnt have a reason. it takes a bit of time for brain to get back to normal.. are you on any ssri meds by any chance?

Yes! OCD often makes the sufferer feel like they are alone, isolated, and that no one else can possibly understand this experience. Please know that those are lies that OCD tells. You can choose to not believe them. Sometimes people report feeling like things are not real and that they are in a daze- the stress from OCD can be overwhelming at times. Please know that you are not alone in this. The NOCD community is here for you.

TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.

I have panic disorder, and OCD and anxiety. Does anyone else ever feel just off the edge all the time? Like I always feel like something’s off or something’s gonna happen. I don’t know how to explain the feeling. But I always feel off and when I feel off I panic
