Does anyone else have thoughts that scare you so much that you stop breathing? Like you have an actual physical reaction to scary thoughts? Bc I get that a lot, sometimes I get the shakes and sometimes I stop breathing and want to cry
Yes. Sometimes I will even flinch like I got hit or shake my head
@Fifi3201 Me too! Sometimes I’ll smack my head as a reaction. Weird reaction I know, but I hate the thoughts so much and they drive me crazy
i get the doom feeling and doubt
Yeah they make me want to cry
Im so scared of what my mind can come up with these days. I feel as if all I do is have bad thoughts and its ruining my life
Yep! Sometimes I'll be just fine and then an intrusive thought will pop into my mind and physically stop me dead in my tracks. Oftentimes it's even accompanied by physical reactions like shaking my head or even saying something like "no."
U might benefit from meds right now, def speak with your dr
I've found it helps when I try to keep busy. At first it's hard to do things while your brain is fu@#ing with you, but over time, you learn to build strength
I just feel petrified and I don’t understand why. There aren’t even any thoughts right now. I just feel so scared.
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
does anyone else get really vivid intrusive thoughts of the person who you are talking to (or close to physically) just randomly striking you violently? i keep getting them when i’m just talking to my dad one on one in the car & i get a flash of intrusive thoughts of him grabbing my hair & shoving my face in the dashboard. it gets me so anxious :’)
