I always feel like I’m dying

This has only started to occur within the last year (I’m in my late 20s). I’ve become obsessively concerned with every single sensation I experience in my body constantly. Realistically, I don’t have any health concerns (besides mental health). I have an intense fear of having a medical emergency in front of another human, I find it to be so embarrassing (only for me tho, if someone had a medical emergency around me I don’t think it’s embarrassing at all). I constantly think I’m going to pass out (I have passed out in public before due to heat and people were laughing at me). It seems like all my bodily sensations have now become foreign to me and everything I physically feel is an indicator that I’m dying. Anyone else struggle existing in their body like this too?

I just can’t understand why or how some people can behave themselves like that! I’m sorry about how you were treated by not nice people. I can totally relate & understand how you feel because I feel that same exact way about my family! They hate me for being what & who I was created to be. I’m trans not a woman ever. Only women are women always & forever. It’s just the whole truth about the situation. Never my judgment on anyone either. That’s just how I operate my life. Which is in complete shambles unfortunately.

i'm really sorry to hear you're going through this, it sounds incredibly tough to deal with every day. it's totally understandable to feel anxious about your body sensations, especially after experiencing something as scary as passing out in public. you're not alone in feeling this way, and it's brave of you to reach out for support. 💙 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck'? when i was struggling with similar fears, my NOCD therapist recommended this free AI OCD therapy tool (unstuckmyocd.com/try), and it honestly made a big difference for me. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it's designed to provide personalized step-by-step support when OCD gets tough, just like an OCD therapist would. it can help you navigate through those intense fears of medical emergencies and the overwhelming sensations you're experiencing, without making you feel alone in this. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3

Existential?

For the last few weeks I’ve been having terrifying thoughts when out in public, especially in busy crowds. Fixating on humans around me and how we exist, and then I start to think about how we all are skeletons/bones/have all these organs, and it is so scary. And then everyone looks so creepy and alien-like almost. And then how no one feels real and how and their limbs look too big for their bodies, etc And it makes me feel INSANE. I’m convinced something is terribly wrong with my brain. Has anyone ever experienced these type of scary thoughts?
