You need to take time for yourself and feel the emotions you still have. I was like that for awhile ago and the best thing was to just let it be. It helps also to do something that makes you feel good. I still avoid the things that make me anxious, sad, angry and do/watch the things that actually make me feel good. Sometmes I feel like I am not āin trendā with things but at least I am happy.
Iāve been feeling a little bit better these past few days but today itās been very stressful for me having a lot of hard thoughts and unable to release tension mentally giving me a headache and feelings of panic. Having a hard time connecting with reality. Any ideas or suggestions on how to grab myself and release tension?
Iāve been spiraling since a workplace incident last Thursday. I had an uncomfortable and tense interaction with a colleague, and it triggered a lot of obsessive rumination. I spent the whole weekend crying, panicking, and replaying everything that happened. Today, I went back to work ā and it was really hard. Everyone acted like nothing happened. They joke with him, treat him normally, even though he bullied me and Iām just⦠sitting there. I didnāt greet him, and he didnāt greet me. I kept to myself, answered questions when I had to, but didnāt socialize. Now I feel scared. Like Iām walking on eggshells. I keep thinking: āWhat if I say something wrong?ā āWhat if I make a mistake and they say, āYou see? Sheās the problemā? Acting holier than thou & she's a bigot too!" I know this is partly my OCD and trauma talking, but it feels so real. Like Iām one wrong move away from being blamed or alienated. Iāve even started eating lunch in my car to feel safe. Iām trying so hard to hold boundaries, stay professional, and protect my peace. But Iām exhausted. I feel like a shell of myself and Iām scared Iāll break. I was already a little on eggshells cause most of my colleagues say or do something bigoted every now & then...my bigotry ocd is always scared that when I don't confront them. I'm condoning it & becoming them. I'm exhausted. I want to work remotely so I can stay isolated from people. I don't think I'll ever heal from this. I feel like this incident is one of those that permanently changes you. Like when my parents & siblings says I'm not the same anymore. I'm more panicked etc.
So my OCD got that bad to the point where Iām barely having ocd and my body is stuck in stress, I canāt sleep, my mind is soo loud and my chest hurts and my vains are popping out and I feel like my body is shutting down what do I do ā¹ļø I donāt even feel like I am here I canāt focus on anything Iām always zoned out
