Sensorimotor OCD
I have GAD, panic and ocd. I have dealt with intrusive thoughts, disordered eating, and now sensorimotor. I can go from blinking to breathing to swallowing. The breathing one is like the worst because I think if I don't focus on my breath then I will just stop entirely. Its exhausting and so hard to be present in the moment. I also have a fear of taking medication even though I probably need it. I have had bad experiences with psychiatrists and antidepressant side effects. I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with any of these issues? Does therapy help? Can you over come this without medication?
