Yes. It’s the worst. It’s like walking around feeling like you’re in danger. I just realized a second ago it’s my ocd telling me I am not safe, even though I’m okay.
Yes and just feeling like my future is going to be shitty and that I’m not going to feel pure joy ever or in my marriage - makes me feel so scared even though it’s something I want
@bb.99 I have this exact thing!
@bb.99 I can relate
Something that I find helps me though is acknowledging the thought as my brain checking in on me and then I can just reply with “I’m ok thanks” like viewing it as an overprotective mother and just being like “oh no it’s all good thanks”. Also something that helps me is leaving room for the possibility of miracles and the magic in life to happen even when we have this feeling of doom. We never know how good it could get because all we have to project onto our future is our past. If the past has been shitty, then no wonder you feel like there will be doom in the future- it’s just the way our minds work. Just remember that the universe works in ways we don’t understand, and more likely than not, the future holds some miracles.
@bb.99 thank you!
All day yes
yup. 100%
Yall these panic attacks are getting FOUL. please give some good advice. The ocd brain in me be telling me I’m dying and bout to head to the Gates of Heaven. Helpppp
Really bad theme right now is death, I keep thinking about how one day or at any moment my heart will stop my brain will stop & my memories & everything I know will all fade away. It is giving me so much anxiety I’m only 18, but I realize it all happens to us it is bound, we are born to die. I know it’s a silly thing to be scared because it’s not helping the quality of my life worrying about it and even when I do die, I won’t care , if you don’t have a working brain then how can you care 🤷♀️. It is tainting my everyday life currently & honestly making me terribly depressed & it is giving me derealization & making me feel nihilistic, I’ll remind myself it’s okay but then with my ocd i don’t stop thinking and thinking about it and it’s seriously so hard to stay present in the moment because this thought just feels like I can’t scrub it away it’s miserable I struggle with religion, but I do pray to anything that’s out there possibly listening, because it is comforting, it just feels like this whole experience Is pointless & I am afraid of the unknown and what is to possibly happen but I’m subjected to it anyways so why should it matter
i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.
