Man i understand! I have panic attacks to and i have them and my back and chest hurts. Then im scared of being sick (because chest and back pain can be also symptoms of heart problems and my obsession is health) so i have another panic attack thinking im gonna die from a disease. And obviously my back and chest hurt more. I hate this cycles. Hahaha. BUT you got this i believe in you! :)

i’m moving to another country in a month and i totally feel you! i am constantly trying to not thing abt it because everytime i think abt i get this overwhelming anxiety and i feel like i’ll go crazy in seconds! I immediately start thinking about the fact that i might not be strong enough to do it, that my life will the be ruined if i quit, that i’ll get so lonely i’ll just start getting depressed and it is terrifying. what i try to do is disregard those thoughts by listening to music and repeating to myself “ you’ll be ok, you’ll be ok” until i actually believe it. hope this helps you feel less lonely!

oh damn thats a big thing! event tho i have mastered this myself, i KNOW panic and anxiety like that dissappears when you start believing that youre completely able to do all of these things. all about confidence! and also, not focusinh on anxiety all of the time (i think of my anxiety probably 24/7) which keeps me in the belief that im weak and will be overpowered by anxiety any minute. we can do this!!

It’s been a really long time since I’ve been here. I’m about to go back to school for nursing. But right now I’m working as a nursing assistant in the hospital. Idk if it’s my body adjusting to seeing new INTENSE things every day or shoving so much information into me at once with long 12 hour shifts. And when I’m at work and conscious it’s completely fine. But when I come home and sleep I wake up from bad dreams. Yesterday at work there were maybe 10 rapids (when you call an emergency for your patient, don’t always have a good ending) and I woke up this morning remembering my dream that I was in the hospital and my heart stopped and they had to call a rapid on me. Maybe it’s not even OCD??? And it’s just heavy heavy stuff that I’ve never seen before and it’s just my brain and body adjusting to life and things that can be really scary. It just feels a bit like when my OCD was bad and I’m scared I’m really in my head right now I don’t want it to get worse. Can anyone relate???

About the beginning to middle of February I went into the doctor and requested to see a counselor. I’m starting to see a counselor about anxiety in a few days and I’m extremely nervous. I’m nervous my counselor is going to say I have to break up with my bf otherwise I’ll be stuck with ocd for the rest of my life. I’m nervous my counselor is going to think I’m crazy and not know anything about ocd. I’m nervous my counselor is going to tell my aunt how crazy and messed up I am because my aunt works in the clinic I’m going to therapy at, and if she tells my aunt everyone in my family may find out. I’m nervous I’m going to hell because I’m going to counseling and not fully leaning on God instead to fix it all for me. I’m nervous I’m a bad Christian for going to therapy and not believing Jesus is going to fix it all. I’m nervous that my future is ruined because of my mental health. I’m worried that my boyfriend is going to break up with me because I’m too much to handle and too anxious. I’m just scared for my future because of my ocd and because I am not as passionate about my faith as I used to be so I feel like I’m gonna go to hell for that or like my sister is going to die because of her seizures because of my ocd. Idk I’m so scared.

I’ve been my job for almost 2 years now and I can not shake the constant worry that I am going to do something to mess it up. I’m constantly checking things over and over to make sure they’re correct to the point where I almost don’t believe my own eyes anymore. Everyday I go home with something to be anxious about. Today me and a coworker got in a bit of a tiff and I can’t stop thinking about it (even though I was totally right to be upset 🤣) everyday I play out fake scenarios that may happen because of what I said or did. Occasionally I will worry if I had written something inappropriate on the work I turn in. There’s no amount of reassurance that can make me stop worrying and I’m not sure what to do anymore. I’m new here and would love some suggestions!
