Does anyone have experience of feeling like this all the time? I can’t be around people arguing or bickering or making fun of each other. I flipped my lid today because of it. I just feel under threat. Probably something I should take to my Dr rather than bring here but someone might know.
I feel the same about being around people bickering or arguing. Makes me extremely uncomfortable and probably stems back to my childhood as my parents constantly fought. Sorry you experienced this.
@emilytravelswild My parents fought too.
Same here. I feel that way all the time but it’s been mainly since my hormones were messed up with surgical removal of ovaries. My testosterone level is so much lower than someone my age and I think that plays into many things. However, I have never been comfortable confronting someone or being around people being mean to each other. I will say this overall feeling of vulnerability is making me feel like I can’t get a grip on life. It’s like I am a lost little kid. There’s got to be some serious deep dive into my situation where the answer probably lies and it likely wouldn’t surprise me.
@Chickens_Frogs I have good days and bad days tbh.
@NotSoNewb82 Same here. Todays is a weird one for me.
@Chickens_Frogs I hate flipping but I think avoiding it makes me flip.
@NotSoNewb82 I get it. I have wanted to do that multiple times today and didn’t so now I just feel depressed.
@Chickens_Frogs I feel like I shouldn’t bottle it. I should just say something to the person that annoys me in the first place. I have a problem expressing that though. I think I have autism. My doctor has put it on the table abd I am emotionally dysregulated.
I think it’s totally okay you’re sharing this here. I know that feeling. It happens to me in two cases 1) When I’m processing sth that deeply hurt me by people and I would never do this to them (so I think). 2) I don’t want to watch people make jokes about each other or be harmful, because I’m deeply (!) afraid I might copy (!!) their behavior. Nr. 2) might be related to autism (?) I’m also not watching movies with certain themes (or any new ones at all) because I’m afraid of the brutality of this hate/betraial. As you said it happens in mental vulnerable state
@elliss2 I might have autism. The Dr has put it on the table.
David Richo Triggers: How We Can Stop Reacting and Start Healing. I have not read it but it has good reviews.
@Anonymous Healing is possible.. 🙏 Thank you.
Sounds like you are getting triggered by situations in your childhood. This probably is a sign that some healing is needed . A therapist should be able to help you . You could also read about triggers and how to manage them. I see triggers like taking a time machine and traveling in time to a period in our lives when we experience an unpleasant event. It helps to recognize what is happening and remind yourself my feelings are not all related to what is happening at this very moment.
@Anonymous Healing is possible.. Can you recommend a book?
Does anyone else have issues with anger or are overly sensitive? I kinda have both and they drive each other. Cause I’m sensitive to what people say and do I get angry at them or just really sad.
I'm very nervous to post this because I feel like a bad person right now but does anybody else with harm OCD get scared that's if they get annoyed or angry with someone the thoughts will become more real? I hate the noise of people eating, for example, and I know it's something people can't help but I hate the noise and then I get more intrusive thoughts and have to leave the room or put earphones in or sometimes I just cry and can't tell People why because I can't be like you eat too loud so I might hurt you! I'm scared if someone really annoys me or hurts me more seriously that I won't have control. It's really stressing me out. Sorry for the rant.
Is it just me or does anyone get mad really easily. Idk I’ve always had that problem since a kid, where I could take a joke or be laughed at because I would constant think about the humiliation and it would anger me. I would try to fight the anger when made fun of but I can’t help it. I don’t understand what’s wrong with me.
