I just broke down crying because I’m so wracked with fear. It was bad. I feel like I could pass out.

No, usually it does. I’m just too scared. I’m scared of everything. I just washed my hands seven times. I feel out of control.

I feel for you buddy I really do

So sorry to hear you're feeling like this. I hope you're feeling a little better now. Just remember "you have survived 100% of your worst days so far" and this feeling WILL pass. You are not alone. We all can empathise with how you're feeling. This fear is just your brain falsely sensing danger and trying to protect you. But this is a FALSE signal and you can correct this through acknowledging the feeling and carrying on anyway. I know it is SO hard but you can do this. You are SO strong ❤️✨

I want to tag each an every one of you, but I didn’t expect so much support! Thank you for every single word, all of you! It was in the middle of the night and I felt alone and it really helped to have somewhere to vent—and to people who actually get it. I watched videos of puppies online and passed out cold. ?

Big deep breath in to the count of 4.... Hold for one... you are doing marvelous And then gentle and very slow release Now try to find 5 things you can see, feel, and smell... Another breathing exercise There is a really amazing app called “calm” they have a subsection of guided meditation for anxiety. I highly recommend this along with a hot bath and maybe even some lavender. This won’t make the fears go away necessarily but it may help calm and shift perspective. You aren’t alone in this... I know you don’t feel like it right now but you are stronger than you think... ?❤️

Puppies?

Did the crying make u feel any better?

I feel like crying might help

There are lots of different therapy techniques out there from erp to cbt. (ERP being the most effective from what I hear). And different options out there for medications as well. You will make it through this, big hugs...

Stay strong ❤️ I had a major breakdown 2 days ago but I got through it with the help of my husband. Maybe u could talk to a friend or family member who is understanding and won’t stigmatize.
