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'm having the hardest time right now with my own ruminating negative thoughts that may or may not possibly come true. I fear the worst and replay what that looks like in my head over and over. The best I can do is my best and wait for the horror to end. I want to cry, but can't. I'm scared and alone in my head. My anxiety is extreme. What should I do in the meantime while I'm going through this? How can I minimize or stop the way I'm feeling? Please, I need help.
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
I have the thought of what if I lose control and do something out of my control like scream for no reason or yelling in a store or just blurting stuff out that’s not in my control and it causes so much anxiety and causes me to feel weird. I always think I’m on the edge of losing control of myself and it’s exhausting living like this. Any tips?
