@FinneganFox90 it's the uncertainty for me it causes anxiety
@FinneganFox90 do you have any advice or suggest what i could do
@FinneganFox90 thankyou i was in therapy but last week i got told i was being discharged because my anxiety is too high for them to work with me 😔 i have the anxiety because of my ocd
@FinneganFox90 my therapist had worked with ocd clients before and we did start ERP but my anxiety got so bad i needed up having my medication changed and i think the reason for her to discharge me was to get my anxiety under control with my new meds then refer myself back there when i'm more better
@FinneganFox90 i emailed her to say i'd like to continue but nothing was said about it
@FinneganFox90 a few days ago, i've already had the letter to say i've been discharged unfortunately i am under a mental health nurse that will call me ever 1-2 weeks so at least i have some support in that field of things
I look back at various past events in my life where I said or did things that I feel really guilty, disgusted, and ashamed about. I replay them in my head for hours. I feel anxious about crossing paths with people that I've hurt or upset in the past or who perceive me badly, to the point that I will avoid going out in public as much as possible. I go out for work, errands, appointments, and occasionally to eat (even though those all give me a lot of anxiety), but I avoid community events where people might recognize me and I tend to isolate myself. The only people I see regularly are my boyfriend, my parents, and my coworkers. I live in a small community and I'm worried about people confronting me publicly and proving what a bad person I must be.
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
