Has anyone seen someone that has different subsets of OCD, GAD, panic attacks and get through it and live a happy life. I live in constant brain fog, with tension in my body all the time. I’m tired and lethargic and don’t want to live like this but my feelings are very overwhelming. What can I do

Are you taking any medication? Are you in amy sort of treatment?

Treatment yes. Medication has never worked for me

Well im sure there are millions of people who have had all of the above and managed to live decent lives. Id keep on with treatment. There is a part in treatment where your going througb the motions but you arent really doing it 100%. Thats okay sometimes you have to work up to the big changes. But Ive found you dont start feeling different untio you hit that 50%-100% range of doing exposures repeatadly.

Since I was a kid I always had some form of anxiety. I think at different points, I have literally now experienced every anxiety disorder there is. I went from constant state of anxiety about EVERYTHING leading to agoraphobia, to an eating disorder, to severe panic attacks, fear of being around others, and of course ocd which has been constant. One thing I’ve noticed with myself, is that I have periods that are worse, and periods that are better. Sometimes I feel so bad and anxious and overwhelmed, but I remind myself that there will be times where I will feel better. The anxiety subsides eventually, even if it comes back. I try to enjoy the moments I’m feeling good, and practice skills to help me get through the hard times (doing my exposure hw, distracting myself, relaxation, etc.) hope this helps!
