last week on tuesday i had a ocular migraine for the first time and it freaked me out. I started wearing my glasses more and when i take them off my vision is more blurry now. I also had a sinus infection that same day i got a ocular migraine, but im continuously scared that it is a brain tumor and that is why my vision is blurry and i’ve been doing clumsy things or accidents for example forgetting something or like anxiety on knowing what to say in a conversation because a symptom was not being able to speak and it’s like my body is manifesting these symptoms but it makes it feel all more real. what do i do

I also have had migraines and thought that I had a tumor. I will research it and physically feel sick like head ache and the symptoms of what I think I have.. I doubt you have a tumor. Migraine are very common and most of mine are set off by sinus infections. Ocular migraine cans be scary I see dots and the side of my head goes dumb but my dr has told me over and over it’s just a migraine and it’s ok

@Kgriffith97 thank you. i think the ocular migraine set me off and i am very hyperaware of my vision now. i’ve also been dependent on my glasses because of finals week and im looking at my phone and screens all day. i keep playing with my eyes to see if one is worse than the other or searching things. i also get scared to speak because i mess up my words cause im so hyperaware of the fact if not fluent it can indicate a brain tumor. i’ve never had a ocular migraine before so it was so scary. i still have pressure in my face maybe inflammation now instead of infection but the vision is really worrisome to me

@helpme1234 Yes they can be scary if you have never had one. You can always see a doctor and get some medication for it. Or maybe even see your eye doctor maybe your glasses aren’t the correct script. For future if you get a bad migraine you can go to urgent care and then can give you a shot and some nausea medication to help with it and the shot will make you sleepy and help the pain go away. Another thing I’m not sure how old you are but young teens are prone to migraines due to hormones. My mom gets them, my sister gets them and my grandma use to get them. I thought I had a brain tumor, went and saw my dr and we went over the symptoms and she confirmed it was just a migraine. She told me tumors will cause balance Issues even when you don’t have a migraine. They cause speech problems, and they have other symptoms to them other than a migraine. You just have a migraine and those are very common but yes they definitely suck and I could see why your ocd grabs on to it!

@helpme1234 Yes sinus infection always cause me to have a migraine! It’s ok you don’t have a tumor. It’s ok to ask your doctor as well I ask my doctor all kinds of questions and it eases my worries

Bring it to their attention and they can most likely test for it.

@Kgriffith97 I looked online and brain tumors are not very common. So it’s very unlikely you have one. However advocate for yourself and talk with your doctor!

my OCD was doing better bro :(

tell me why… idk if this is just me but i’m so scared i have ovarian cancer, kidney stone, kidney failure, UTI, hernia, or something wrong that’s making my lower stomach to my inner thigh and pelvic area. i have an uncomfortable feeling. it was hurting more last night then it is today… everytime i pee it doesn’t hurt but i somewhat still get the uncomfortable feeling down there and feeling in stomach. i’ve been googling and idk what to do because i’m scared of the doctors and i haven’t had a physical like in 2 years and i’m like scared if i go to a physicial i will have something wrong with me like i have cancer or something that i don’t know about. something tells me the pain tho in general is something gastrointestinal related but idk if could mean i have pain down “there”…. i took a tylenol last night it helped a little but then it still kinda occurred and i took a tum and it’s still the same i think it’s still occurring since i’m so hyper focused about it. idk i’m just like ugh my OCD was doing so well i just can’t tell what it is or if something is wrong i’m just scared :( i hate when having certain pains i freak out.

Ocd/going crazy

Hi about a week ago I found out I have ocd and chronic anxiety! I tried zoloft and it was terrible for me. I also started therapy and I take hydroxyzine but I will discuss further medication with my doctor. My question is I have a huge fear that I'm going crazy, I am crazy, or schizophrenic to the point I'm so hyper aware of my surrounding ill look out the corner of my eye to make sure I'm nit seeing anything ill make sure to double check what I'm hearing and it's so draining! I get really scared and go into a panic and cry 😅 I need some reassurance has anyone felt this way my doctor and therapist explained it to me but I'm still very scared. I feel like one day I'll have a break and I won't be the same! I tried the grounding exercise and breathing it helps temporarily. I also cut out smoking weed and none of my family has this but I feel like I have it or ill develope it even though it's rare!

any advice, thank you.

so since mid december i’ve been feeling like this , well first in mid december I’ve started feeling anxiety like normal, normal as in physical things like feeling like im going to pass out, shaking, chest pain, etc. but then it got worse , then it turned into more of mind stuff like feeling not real , feeling weird like idk. my mind is always runningg like on over drive, like looking back at myself that doesn’t seem like me. like idk. i can’t stand to look at myself anymore bc it doesn’t feel like me. i can’t be alone , when i think about to it makes it sm worse. but how do i stop thinking ab it? or make it better. i’m scared it’s gonna get worse. like i can’t even do my makeup anymore bc i think something bad will happen. i can’t go certain places , like stay the night bc i think something bad is gonna happen.
