Hi guys, I know I’m annoying as heck. I am always on here posting or needing help. I’m having bad anxiety right now and just am so scared. Everyone says sit with anxiety or just let it be. I always just think about going to the hospital or why I feel so bad. Wondering why or what I can do. I know I’ve had OCD but it just came for no reason besides that! I’m so scared!
Never apologize for asking for help. Some people are blessed with having people around them they know they can always go to. And if you don’t, you have this community right here for you. If you want, you can message me anytime and I’ll have an ear open for yoy
@Anonymous Thank you, I’m not even sure how to message people on here. I didn’t know that was possible. I feel like running to the ER but I know I shouldn’t do that. I hate anxiety the most out of anything in life besides bleeding equally!
@Perfect Imperfectionist No, unfortunately there’s no private chat here to message someone, only the opportunity to comment :(. That’s why some posts have 20 comments and some people texted back and forth 🤣😅
You’re not annoying at all!!! Everyone needs some help and that’s ok! I know I hate the “sit with it” or “let it be” I’m not sure how I’m supposed to let it be. I try to find things that help lower my anxiety. A book, art, favorite show, or just going for a walk. I try to do something that takes my mind off it. Don’t ever worry about asking for help! M
@MDK13 Thank you so much! That really and truly means so much to me. In the past I feel like I haven’t gotten a lot of people responding. I just feel so alone and scared when I have anxiety. I don’t care if I’m a male or not. I wanna cry and I feel so overwhelmed by the anxiety!
Thank you guys! I just wanna cry! I am focused on my heart rate. I feel nauseous as well. I am sick, so could that be a reason for the heart rate as well? 😮💨 Having such a rough time. I hate that extra energy feeling!
@Perfect Imperfectionist It all good be. But don’t try to find the answer right now! Just focus on how you feel and process those feelings!
@Anonymous I don’t feel good and just want to feel better! I sometimes wonder what it would be like to live without mental health problems in my life. The USA seriously fails when helping people here with mental health issues. I’m not sure where you guys are from. I really appreciate all the kind words and support! ❤️
What I am trying to embrace is all the ups and downs and everything in the middle by doing so I am working on the transient nature of all my emotions. Imagine looking at the sky and on certain days the clouds ⛅️ pass from one type to another, sorta like our feelings. So I don’t try to be specifically happy or trouble free for the reasons I mentioned.
@777Q Hey 777Q! Nice to hear from you again! Thank you for your comment on my post! ❤️ May God bless you and you find peace as well! I’m genuinely happy to know I have people like you guys who understand what I’m going through!
Not sure what your religious beliefs are but I’ve always heard God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. So we can do twice as much talking as listening
@Anonymous That certainly sounds wonderful! Something that my mother would say! ❤️
Hi friend! It’s been an hour since you posted and I hope you’re feeling a little better. One thing that may help you during this is the podcast “The Anxious Truth”. Find an episode that sticks out, give it a listen, and feel less alone! I’ve felt exact how you feel. This too shall pass❤️ you can do it! I believe in you.
@laurennshirleyy Hey Lauren, Never ran into you here before! I really appreciate your kind and loving words very much to me! I am doing okay, just exhausted now from the worrying! I will certainly have to. Heck out this podcast you are speaking about! 🙏🏻😀🙏🏻 Glad to know you understand how difficult it is, sorry you’ve had to suffer as well! I love that saying! “This too shall pass” because my mom often reminds me of this! ❤️ Thank you so much! It’s just really hard! I know it’s hard for all of you guys as well! I hope you and yours have a genuinely blessed night! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
@Perfect Imperfectionist This is so kind. Try to have a better day today and be mindful that whenever you’re super stressed, some stress hormones linger in the body for a couple of days. Today is new! You are not isolated or alone in this. We all have each other. Let me know what you think of the podcast❤️
Not annoying at all, I have Pocd and Hocd, my life is a nightmare 24/7, I have intrusive thoughts and anxiety really bad. I'm always scared and depressed. I wonder if God is ever going to help me. I have to have Faith that we will all get better one day. If there is anything I can do to help you o will
God Bless you guys that responded!
There is this Grounding Practice..5,4,3,2,1 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.calm.com/blog/5-4-3-2-1-a-simple-exercise-to-calm-the-mind%23:~:text%3DIt%2520involves%2520identifying%25205%2520things,thoughts%2520to%2520the%2520present%2520moment.&ved=2ahUKEwim8L6d8LSGAxU56skDHbYYAOcQFnoECBkQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3bZYI4xgYYXHNtqRLWy47h It can help. (You have to believe that it might help.) If you're closed off to this idea, breathing techniques are big. They involve concentrating the mind, and practicing a level of self control at the same time. There is such a variety of practices, no link, find what suits you. Remember every problem has a solution.
i don’t understand what’s going on. All of the sudden i started having intrusive thoughts and I thought the “devil” had me and i was about to check myself into a mental hospital but then one of my friends who also has ocd told me that she has these too and i felt less alone. Then for like a day or two I was fine and then I went to therapy and was triggered (? idek) and the intrusive thoughts came back and now i’m even worse than I was before and I don’t even know what’s going on. I can’t figure it out and I can’t stop reading and posting on this dang app BECAUSE IM CONFUSED AND SCARED IM JUST SCARED and idk if this is reassurance seeking or what but I have my first therapy appointment with someone on here on wednesday but i’m scared that I won’t make it… Idk what’s going on and idek if I DO have ocd bc i haven’t been diagnosed
Can anyone please confort me? I'm having a really bad panic attack, I can't stop crying and I feel like im losing my mind from the fear. I feel like maybe I should just go to the hospital because it feels so real
I am struggling so bad with relationship ocd. I am so scared and filled with anxiety. I just wanna talk to someone who also deals with this 😞
