Real vs OCD

Just venting. So last night I fainted at a concert. It was scary and I had a full blown somatic OCD-related panic attack right after. The shitty thing though was that I knew I wasn’t feeling great before I fainted, but I couldn’t tell if it was just my somatic OCD. I told myself it probably was and tried to be okay with the discomfort. Now I’m terrified that I have no idea what is real in my body anymore.

Expecting can cause illness to happen. The mind is very powerful

being “in your head” is a very powerful thing. I know it’s hard to differentiate between the physical affects and the mental affects but I’ve found, they both end the same. If something happened like this, then it happened. Going into whether you thought of it or it was going to happen is irrelevant if you choose to identify it in the sense of ridicule. BUT. If it’s from a term of question and you just want to continue your life and the choices this far feeling as tho the mental challenges don’t pose and apposition, ik that a regulated group of meds paired with conversation whether it be in a journal or a physical person has helped immensely. Ik that comes as repetitive advice but even if I don’t wish to “burden” my friends with my problem ik a piece of paper will always suffice
