That lingering anxiety feeling inside me is telling me “there’s something else to be worried about but you I don’t know what it is !!!” I HATE THIS !!! I just wish I wouldn’t think so much !!!
Sometimes that anxiety can try to bring you back into ruminating about what to do about it! It’s such an annoying feeling, but acknowledge that it’s there and keep going about your day
It sucks cause I be looking for any reason even if it’s from the past and I start obsessing 😭
@Gvocdgirl YESSS !!! I can’t stop looking because “what if I’ve missed something” !!! It’s getting me so mad
Inositol helped me with this! Sometimes I’d wake up with this physical anxious feeling in my chest even tho I didn’t have any anxious or intrusive thoughts 🤷🏻♀️ so I started talking inositol 1000mg daily ((formerly b8)) and within a few days that feeling went away! Then a few months later it came back and I didn’t understand why out of the blue. It lasted 3-4 days when I realized I had forgotten to put it in my pill minder for the week with my other supplements/meds. I took it that day and it went away. I’d totally try it if I were you!
@Anonymous I’m on sertraline (Zoloft) 100mg and it helps but not like the way you described. Thank you for letting me know

@Miss_OCD YES ! I hate this it’s like there never going to end !
Omg I get this all the time I’m always in a state of panic
It would be this uneasy feelin that would sometimes even make my stomach queasy; especially annoying bc I felt like their wasn’t anything on my mind to be stressing on and I’d literally wake up feeling it there and I’d “search” my mind for what could be causing it and come up blank. If I was having some awful intrusive or bizarre thoughts it would make sense but when it was nothing evident I was stumped and annoyed. It definitely seemed to turn out that my body was missing a nutrient/vitamin.
@Anonymous I will definitely try it thank you ! And I have the same process, everything comes up blank and the feeling won’t budge !!! It’s not even upsetting it’s just annoying !!
I get it too! The sky is falling, the sky is falling! It's so annoying.
Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?
I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?
just when I think i’m having a good weekend and I can forget about my struggles my brain tells me i’m not allowed to feel happy and that there’s always SOMETHING i need to be worrying about. so frustrating :(
