Many of us are going through the same feelings. You are not alone. I hope it will get better soon.

Same! But trust me the more you can refocus the better! Go watch a show or movie and really focus as much as you can! Focus on how the people talk, their clothes, their hairstyles, their facial features, details! The anxiety will eventually start to fade.

I do that alot actually and it always seem to work but only for a short period of time. Until the movie is up, until I'm reading a book, until I listen to music, paint, play games, cook etc.. then when once I'm done with it, everything comes crushing down on me and I'm back to being anxious. It's as if I 'need' to distract my mind or else I'm gone into that rabbit hole.

Today you should try to go out sit somewhere there are alot of people. Just watch them coming and going it will make you feel better. Don't stay alone for long time. Talk to someone near you even you don't want to talk.

This sounds good. I'd love to do this but sadly, I live in a country where women aren't really allowed to go out on their own until I'm with my dad. And well, he's never really got time for me so I'm in my house all the time.

There's some mindfulness meditations on YouTube for OCD. Try one. Do it as long as you need to become centered again.

@Ella_ Rose I feel like sometimes having a tantrum (scream, cry, try not to break your stuff) is just needed. Punch your pillow and refluff that thing but also be aware of better copes so you aint tryin this in a store or at work 😁

@Ella_ Rose No, this is hard. You need to learn self compassion right now and you need to try to not be self destructive. Acknowledge this is a difficult disorder to come to terms with and slowly work your way up. Find things that genuinely help you and force yourself to do them.

@vgb I personally like the one from the Declutter app, but I pick whichever ones are most calming at the time. I usually like mine without music.

@Will86 Ahahaha it does feel better when I do such things but yeah you're right, i need to have a control over such things... I just don't seem to have a healthy coping mechanism lol

@McDucko I've really tried not to be destructive and show at least a lil compassion towards myself but it never works .. I always end up losing my shit.. I guess some things are just meant to be this way? idk I've force myself to do good things that'll help me but I always end up crying or having a panic attack cuz it just seems like too much work and I'm out of time.

How do you sit with anxiety?
How do you sit with anxiety? I wanna check my pulse over and over again. I dunno what caused my anxiety. Now I am just sitting here. Ugh! I feel crazy!

terrible anxiety
i’ve been doing okay lately. but then tonight, my stomach started hurting and obviously that set off an anxiety spiral for my emetaphobia. and it went on for about an hour or so when i started feeling better and being more rational with myself. then all of a sudden, i’m hit with a second wave because my stomach started hurting again that i’m still going through. i’ve been having second waves of anxiety recently when i get anxiety attacks and they’re probably worse than the initial hit because i start to think “oh wait, maybe i am sick.” and i’m still not out of it and i’m currently terrified. i know the anxiety is making my stomach worse, but i cannot calm myself down when it hits. so i have an ice pack on my neck, heating pad on my stomach, turned my lights off, turned my fan on and have my tv on for background. i’m trying my best not to take a zofran but it’s getting hard
