for the last hour, i’ve been feeling off and a little on edge. i’m anxious, but i don’t know what i’m anxious about. i just feel weird and really in my head. it’s using my obsessions to make it worse and i just want it to go away. anyone else ever experience this? i’ve never really had panic attacks but it kind of feels like it would be that because i just have felt really stuck since it started.
Yes, this happens to me all the time I just try and distract myself the best I can.
@Iseeinpinkk my headspace is so bad. i can’t explain what it feels like. i just feel so worried and in my head if that makes sense. it came out of nowhere
@pickedpeppers I definitely know what you mean💗 I’m praying for you.
I feel like i experience this every morning and sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night feeling like it. What helps me is to run cold water over my hands and to brush some of it onto my cheek and focusing on the sensation. I also like to do push ups and listen to some of my favorite music. Another thing is to do some form of stretching to feel more in my body. Once i feel semi calm and only like 30% anxious, i watch something funny or lighthearted on youtube or streaming, like skits or stand up. Or a comfort show might help. Shows like Superstore are goofy n funny
@Theosis it’s like using my harm thoughts and fear of being sick against me. i feel like i’m losing control in a sense. is that normal? it’s really freaking me out
@pickedpeppers I’m not an expert at all but I’ve had moments where I’m so convinced that i might do something harmful to myself, all i can do is go on a walk or sit out in the car for a little. There’s a channel on YouTube called Declutter The Mind, as well as many OCD/intrusive thought specific meditations that have really helped me with feeling more in control and aloof when it feels like my hearts beating out of my chest. It’s also important to practice self love to make the positive part of your thinking a lot stronger/more present. I like to do affirmations but i understand its rlly hard to do in a state of panic. It might help if theres someone you could talk to who you feel safe around. If not, there’s journaling prompts on this app that might help lead your brain into a different train of thinking. Remember tho, as much as you’re having these thoughts, theres an even bigger part of you that wants to feel safe, and its important to kno that that is also a part of you. I’m sorry that you’re feeling like this but this too shall pass just as it has in the past.
@Theosis you have no idea how much i appreciate feeling understood. thank you so much for that and for the recommendations as well

i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.
I have panic disorder, and OCD and anxiety. Does anyone else ever feel just off the edge all the time? Like I always feel like something’s off or something’s gonna happen. I don’t know how to explain the feeling. But I always feel off and when I feel off I panic
