Intrusive thoughts and somatic symptoms
Hello, everyone. This is my first time posting. I actually just downloaded the app half an hour ago. In conjunction with OCD, I suffer from moderate to severe Seasonal Affective Disorder. Does anyone struggle like crazy with change? I recently moved and am switching departments at my job. Where I live, temperatures drastically went from warm to cold with no gradual cooldown. My intrusive thoughts consist of not feeling strong enough, not feeling feeling independent, then when feeling anxious I obsess over whether I have eaten enough because sometimes I won’t eat as much due to feeling nauseous from my anxiety. And from there, the cycle repeats and then I go back and forth and end up spiraling. Does anyone else experience a similar pattern? Thank you so much in advance.
