Haven’t been like this in a little while. I’m feeling super anxious and jittery and I can’t get rid of the feeling. I’m trying to sit with it and let it naturally subside but it won’t. I think it’s because I’m nervous of going into work tm because of the last two shifts I had weren’t great and I have that in my mind. Idk just needed to vent and I love any advice.
My therapist told me words that really changed my perspective and that the anxious feeling of “impending doom” or general anxiety feeling is not dangerous. There is no real danger other than what anxiety is trying to make you feel. So its okay to feel uncomfortable right now and its going to feel bad but you are safe and okay.
hey, i totally get how tough it feels when anxiety just won't let up, especially with work stress piling on top. it's really brave of you to share and try to sit with those feelings, even when it feels like they're stuck on repeat. 🌀 have you heard about "unstuck", an ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (unstuckmyOCD.com)? it's been a game-changer for me this past month, and i think it could offer you some relief too. another member here put me onto it, and i just wish i'd known about it sooner!
@WillyNile Thank you for your kind words and the suggestion!!
@justlive - you're welcome!! <33
Me too!! I’m also trying to find something to be wrong I feel like I’m in a happy place but then something in my brain goes NO YOU ARE ANXIOUS
Any tips on how to stop feeling anxious about the next day last week I had something come to mind and I panicked and cried it happened at work and now I’m scared to go tomorrow because of what happened last Monday I don’t want it to come back to my mind again and have a bad week
When my mind gets overwhelmed with worrisome thoughts I end up getting this feeling sort of like right in my stomach it feels like panic, its like a rush and then I get really scared and often need to go to the bathroom. Anyone have any advice on how to calm that reaction? I feel like I’m stuck in this anxious thinking then panic feeling loop.
I usually drink coffee every day, but always a cappuccino. Today I had straight granulated coffee, and I was shaking so bad and felt EXTREMELY anxious. I told my mum, and she looked at me like, ‘c’mon’ and I felt so embarrassed because I could feel my heart beating through my chest and I felt like I was going to die. On top of this, I was going with my friend to a job interview, and I had to pick up some contact lenses before. I had my glasses on, and they were crooked so I sat on a bench with my friend to put my contact lenses in, and I couldn’t get them in because my hand was shaking so violently! Eventually I did, but it was so annoying. Like I had no emotional anxiety, but I was shaking like a leaf. And then we got into the place, and it was a room full of people. I wasn’t emotionally nervous but I was so self-conscious of how physically anxious my body was, and how shaky I was that I started to panic. For some reason, my vision went SO weird, like I can’t describe it. It just felt like something shifted and, as someone with intense health anxiety, this really freaked me out and I was struggling to concentrate. It eventually died down, but it was so stressful and embarrassing like my actual face was shaking!! Like my cheek!! Like WHAT! Just thought I’d write it here to see if anyone’s had a similar experience!
