Anybody just feel off, like nothing is wrong but you feel like something is but you don’t know what? But no intrusive thoughts or really anxious, just feel off? I mean I start to get anxious when I start to think why am I feeling like this but
Yes! That IS feeling anxious... the mere fact that we are consciously is shifting our attention to ourselves. Take a deeep breath and shift your focus back to the outside environment and wait for it to pass. It will.
@RMO2023 Thank you!!! I keep focusing on why and then getting wrapped in it, thank you
Try not to ruminate it. Accept that you get anxious sometimes. Try not to attach meaning.
@Anonymous Thank you it’s hard but erp right
That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.
I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?
