Panic Bursts
Currently dealing with panic bursts while sitting with these thoughts. My brain is definitely catastrophizing and I am not engaging but anxiety is really high. Has anybody experinced this?

You’re not alone. ❤️🩹 I know the feeling very well… i know how exhausting that can be. You’re doing great by not engaging! Remember to breathe… I like to walk outside to try and ground myself. I wish I knew how to help you but just know you’re not alone..
@kblvft I appreciate that and unfortunately medication isnt really working right now
I feel for you, please override those thoughts. Ocd is trying to drag you back. Those thoughts are a scam they don't mean anything.
I’m dealing with the same for a month. For me it feels like an urge attack(if it makes sense). It’s hard. But you can totally deal with it! I can share that my thoughts rn are like “how do I avoid of doing it?” And even then I don’t understand I don’t really want it. Hope it helps
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.
Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry I’m going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading
I am trying to see if there are others like me. For the past 12 years, I’ve had crippling Anxiety that leads to intense panic attacks. I’ve been in and out of Ambulances and ER rooms and have called 911 several times. The panic is that intense. I can be just driving down the road and out of no where, BOOM! Hit by the anxiety bus. Most of the time it leads to me panicking, thinking I’m going to die or something is fatally wrong with me. The fear is so intense that I can only find a fraction of calmness by consistently checking my blood pressure, putting on a pulsometer and even checking my blood sugar until it passes. I’m not even a diabetic. I’m always having intrusive thoughts that doctors can’t even fix me. I’ve never met anyone else like me. I feel so scared sometimes that I’m going to loose my mind and that I’m going crazy and will end up in a straight jacket. Then I get another attack just thinking about that as well. Starting new medications freak me out too. If I experience ANY minor side effect, I immediately panic and freak out. I’m being so held back by this . This is a constant obsession that I can’t shake. It’s like I walk hand in hand with Anxiety and panic. Anyone else ever had these issues?
