I am having really bad anxiety today and just want to take an anxiety pill to help me relax, but then I have ocd intrusive thoughts telling me something bad will happen if I take it or I will go crazy or something.
All will be good . I have this thoughts myself . But now I have less , I think it is because of the medication . If your dosage is quite low it could be not working yet .
I can relate. Your thoughts are very understandable. When my anxiety is in overdrive, I’ve began trying to do a breathing session just me. And I will recite a small prayer I learned. And if I can keep my thoughts on those or something else positive I can usually talk myself down. But I do keep my meds near by if I can’t. I will pull for you and I hope you can feel you’re not alone before the intrusiveness starts. And if not.. breathe. Keep in mind We are in control of what we allow to rent space in our minds. That is our superpower! A therapist helped me with that little phase long ago. The reflection in the mirror IS worth the fight! 💪🏼💙
I get it. Ya the thoughts and the meds, it’s a lot of hassle for sure. We are all in survival mode at times, and some of us need the medication. Maybe speak to your doctor about questions or concerns you may have with your rx. Once you learn more about the rx, then u you may be more trusting and able to help yourself when needed. I personally rather take meds then suffer all day and feeling drained and defeated by evening time. We all need some peace and if it means meds to calm your mind and body, then it’s worth it. Best wishes 💫❤️
Aww. You ok? I feel that. Perhaps try and go for a walk, or treat yourself. Maybe watch your favorite show or eat something you like. Sending love. Stay strong you got this❤️
Having thoughts like "your thoughts are real... you really are a bad person.... you don't have ocd, you're just using it as an excuse for your thoughts... you were 'diagnosed' by a college counselor, so it's probably not real... you like your thoughts....." and right now I'm able to keep the anxiety down which is good because I have one more class to get through today but I can tell that later I will be overthinking this and probably get extremely anxious. When I get really anxious I can't cry, I don't know why, but then my head tells me "well you're not crying so you're not really upset or worried about it because you're a bad person." Sorry in advance if I go on a posting spree later when this all hits.
Hi guys, I know I’m annoying as heck. I am always on here posting or needing help. I’m having bad anxiety right now and just am so scared. Everyone says sit with anxiety or just let it be. I always just think about going to the hospital or why I feel so bad. Wondering why or what I can do. I know I’ve had OCD but it just came for no reason besides that! I’m so scared!
I feel like OCD is slowly trying to take away everything I love and scare me. I had a thought when I went to eat that my ocd would latch onto my food and scare me so I wouldn’t eat again and it scares me. My anxiety is pretty bad right now I’m just exhausted from this it’s a struggle daily
