Feeling very “off” lately

I had my worst panic attack maybe ever on Wednesday morning completely out of the blue (after a looong stretch without panic attacks) and since then I’ve been struggling to feel normal. I just feel very dissociated and brain foggy and I keep making stupid mistakes and forgetting things. Then my brain tells me that I’m finally losing it and that I’m a danger to everyone and I’m gonna start blacking out and doing bad things or saying awful things without thinking. I just feel like I can’t focus on anything and I’m SO painfully aware of it. So ironically I CAN focus on my lack of focus 😭

Hey! You’re not alone :) I’ve felt the same way after really bad panic attacks. I think it’s normal? Because our brain/hormones are still trying to “recover” and come back to the thought that were safe and okay after that. Have you tried drinking some type of herbal tea? Chamomile tea is known to help with anxiety, so maybe give it a shot if you want? You got this❤️‍🩹 sending good vibes and prayers your way!☀️

I to have felt like this since last Sunday. I wish my brain wouldn’t do this to me. I hate feeling like a danger to others and that I’m losing it.

@Overwhelmedmind.99 It’s tough but you’ll get through the feeling eventually! Try practicing mindfulness or just listening to relaxing music or doing things you enjoy :) I know it feels scary and maybe even frustrating but it’ll be okay!

Can anyone talk?

I’m struggling so bad. I actually started getting better but now my thoughts are back. I feel like I can’t do anything, watch a movie “oh you’re turned on by that”, go out shopping “oh you’re trying to look pretty for her”. Like what???? My brain just won’t stop!!!!!! It’s making me so depressed, I just feel like I’m about to lose it. I’m happily married, and absolutely in love with my husband. But my brain keeps saying “you’re gay! You’re bi” whatever. I’m so tired guys, I feel so alone, and this has been going on for months…

panic/anxiety attack

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.

panicking so bad

I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.
