y’all i need a little pep talk. im going back to school tomorrow and im worried about if im gonna start having harm thoughts about people at school and then of course tack on the worry of it affecting my grades. or the even bigger worry of having a thought and liking it
I understand your concerns and how this is effecting you at the moment. Try to remember they are just thoughts, like clouds floating by. They have zero meaning no matter the thought and even if your mind says you like it. Hopefully, there will be some healthy distractions for you tomorrow that will redirect the thoughts you are worried about. I am praying this for you and that peace will fill your mind as you begin your new semester🙂
@will1977 thank you! yeah i think it’s cause i got triggered p bad this morning so i’m a little extra anxious today
You’ve got this @kodyisland! Kicking ass and taking names!! 💪
@JessieB thank you!!
update y’all. so i was worried for nothing i didn’t really have any thoughts throughout the school day. my new worry is now when i get home lol. interesting enough within the first few hours of class people managed to mention all three of my biggest triggers BUT i didn’t really have a super bad reaction so that’s cool
@kodyisland AND i was able to concentrate in class. so it was nice to know that my brain can do other things besides torture me
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You got this kody, we are all experiencing the same stuff. We’re a lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for, just go with the flow and let things be as they are👍🏻 you’ll be just fine.
Help please. :( As I go back to work tomorrow I find myself laying in bed fighting the tears. My fear that people are always talking about me is so bad to the point I want to call of work. This struggle is so hard to deal with. I am trying to remember that this is in my head and not real. :(
anybody else starting somewhere new in the next few days? school, work, etc? im starting at a new school and sweet baby jesus im nervous obviously im a little nervous about what people i’ll be meeting and what the next few weeks are gonna be like but mostly im afraid of being afraid, ugh! i think thats the essence of panic disorder, right? when i panic i feel like throwing up (never do, just feels like it) and so im afraid of the panic attacks because i feel sick (and i have a fear of vomiting) whenever i fear panicking, ive obviously already started the panicky reaction, duh! and then i worry about worrying myself into a panic attack! i could keep going! i just really want to have a good first day, man, just with the general amount of jitters everyone has. i dont think im the only one that feels like this hahahaha.
Been having a tough few weeks... I left university in 2020 after an OCD breakdown. Since then I've received a ton of therapy and decided to give uni another try. Only problem is, the last few days I can't catch a break from the constant bombardment of intrusive thoughts. Its leaving me worried that I'll end up having another breakdown. I get over one thought, then my brain is just scanning scanning for the next thing to ruminate over. Everytime I get over one obsession, it seems to find something worse or more disturbing. I don't want all my energy starting uni to be spent battling my mind. Any advice is appreciated.👍
