Panic attack

So my ocd has been quiet for like a month or something and I’m enjoying the peace but I have anxiety here and there and tonight while writing this I’m feeling really anxious. I have health anxiety/health ocd and one of my triggers are seizures….and if my body does a twitch or like a weird thing my body starts panicking straight away and my body does these weird things that I would think a on coming seizure would feel like even writing the word is making me feel like it will happen and it’s scary. Like my head feels shaky if that makes sense and my legs feel like tingly and weird and I know the leg thing is anxiety but my head makes me scared like my head feels like it’s gonna drop back I don’t know how to explain it it’s hard but i would like some advice please

@The Anxious Go Getter Girl A few years ago my health anxiety was so bad I was having five panic attacks a day it was really exhausting but now they not often but come out of nowhere sometimes

I also suffer from health anxiety, I also constantly searching for reassurance. I think out anxiety causes us horrible somatic symptoms but we have to remember our anxiety can’t hurt us. Although sometimes the somatic symptoms are very real and very unpleasant and uncomfortable.

@Margot89 Yeah I try my best to stay calm but it’s so hard sometimes when they feel so reallll

I kind of have the same issues. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought I was having a heart attack or something was seriously wrong. I would say OCD and the anxiety makes us feel a thousand times worse which is why we’re probably felling like an actual health episode is really happening. I would say deep breaths, recognize something may or may not be happening, just like we’re taught in ERP, we can’t always be certain. Distract yourself with something you enjoy doing. Self-care. That’s what’s gotten me through many episodes, even those I was sure were never going to end and would drive me insane. Keep us posted!

@🌧☕️ Not sure if this will help but I have been practicing the box breathing even before the panic starts and also yawning it’s supposed to help your body naturally calm down

Ik this is super random but I’ve been experiencing the same fear atm, I get the same shaky head thing 😭!! You’re the first person I’ve seen also have this symptom, I’m pretty sure it’s a symptom of anxiety but it’s nice to know that I’m not alone

@🌧☕️ Yes I recently found out that they’re called brain zaps! After finding that out anytime I would get it I would remind myself that they’re just brain zaps and now they’ve gone away

@fruitloop31 It freaked me out when I experienced it for the first time and I also experienced as I was going into sleep a loud bang or something would happen in my ears and wake me up which I googled and it was called explosive head syndrome but yeah that was scary and very annoying

OCD Medical Question?

(TW- Please don’t read if you have ocd relating to one off/random medical events) ^ ^ ^ ^ okay so this is something I’ve been confused about for YEARS and completely sped up my ocd symptoms, I had a one off seizure a few years ago, it wasn’t a major one but enough to have family take me to the hospital afterwards, I don’t remember anything whilst it was happening and I was unwell at the time too. I did all the tests and nothing came back, even tested for epilepsy but I don’t have that. No one has been able to give me a reason and that set off my ocd since mine is mostly based around things I cant see hurting me or others (contamination ocd) or me making the wrong decision (rOCD, real event etc etc) (no clue I had ocd at this point though, only got diagnosed last year) I know they can be stressed induced too but I remember not feeling that stressed that night and not much was going on… Is there anyone that’s experienced the same thing?? Could it be OCD related at all?

question for people with panic attacks

I have panic disorder, and OCD and anxiety. Does anyone else ever feel just off the edge all the time? Like I always feel like something’s off or something’s gonna happen. I don’t know how to explain the feeling. But I always feel off and when I feel off I panic

OCD flaring up

My ocd has been flaring up lately I’ve noticed some things that I don’t know if it’s ocd or something else whenever I seen someone like drugged or sick or just not “normal” I feel like or get scared that’s gonna end up being me? Does that make sense or then after a few minutes I feel like I’m them I don’t know exactly how to explain it I feel like I’m gonna start acting crazy or like I act weird or like them ? Idk exactly how to explain it and I have such a drop in my stomach thinking of it because it makes me feel insane, I haven’t had such an ocd episode so it’s getting hard again and making me feel insane specially because I don’t know how to explain this that I feel, I feel so scared rn can someone please comment on this?
