sometimes when i’m anxious/nervous i move my hips foward for a second involuntarily… i don’t know why but it happens when im sitting down or standing up ….. my question is should i let it happen or should i try to stop it ?
Unless it’s harming you it’s probably just a self soothing motion for times of stress. Super common and nothing to worry about.
@bpicciano1012 i let it happen once and for some reason i felt bad even tho it doesn’t hurt me or other people, should i still just let it happen ?
Do you feel you can’t control it? If so it may be more like a tic, in which case you may want to find a competing response like pushing your pelvic floor back. If it’s a compulsion, as in you can control it and you’re doing it as a way to deal with anxiety- then you may want to extinguish it altogether.
@Alessandra Rizzotti most of the time i can’t control it but there was one time where i could’ve controlled it but didn’t ( i thought maybe if i didn’t give it attention it would go away ) and it made me feel bad … so im guessing its a tic ?
I have the thought of what if I lose control and do something out of my control like scream for no reason or yelling in a store or just blurting stuff out that’s not in my control and it causes so much anxiety and causes me to feel weird. I always think I’m on the edge of losing control of myself and it’s exhausting living like this. Any tips?
Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?
I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…
