Anxiety
I’ve been struggling a bit after being in the hospital for two weeks and this my first day out. Any words of encouragement would be great❤️

it’s understandable that you would be struggling! the fact you’re able to be out of the hospital shows that you are on your way up… you can absolutely do this.

@jolie27 I’m trying to be hopeful my theme is just so taboo and hard to deal with and I’m just feeling the anxiety this evening.

@Booklover19 i am sorry you are feeling like this, obviously i don’t know what your theme is but taboo thoughts are especially difficult as they are so isolating…i wish i could be more help with knowing how to relieve anxiety but im terrible at it myself. i understand your struggle though

@jolie27 It’s POCD and it can be absolutely crippling I hate it with a passion and would love to go back to feeling like normal when I was so sure of my thoughts and feelings.

first off - I can’t imagine what you are going through, I hope you are doing well and i’m wishing you a speedy recovery! being in the hospital for such a long period of time is definitely not easy so give yourself grace 🫶🏻 I have anxiety too so understand where you are coming from - take a deep breath and give yourself a day or two to settle back in. you totally got this!!

@Sky.679 It was an inpatient psych stay….my anxiety is pretty high right now because of my OCD theme and intrusive thoughts. It’s so hard to sit with these uncomfortably feelings

You are strong stick to the foundation at the hospital gave you in regards to your treatment Did they give you any medication? Did they set you up with a therapist? I find that structured days work better for me. I don’t know if that’s the same for you. I think structured days help lesson the anxiety

Hey everyone, could use some inspiration today. Having a lot of anxiety around real event and wanting to confess a possible “lie.” Sitting through most of the urges to ruminate but the anxiety is just very uncomfortable. I’m also 9 months pregnant and feeling really sick today which makes it tougher because I can’t do much moving around. Any words of hope would be awesome.

hi everybody! i’ve been doing so well these past few months, but i have hit a bit of a stumbling block. i passed out at work after a long stressful month. i also have a slight concussion. i’m having a challenging time with my anxiety right now. im just scared because i’ve been feeling so good. i am so worried that i am going to get stuck in the same place where i started. anyone have any supporting words of encouragement?

Needing encouragement
Hi friends, feeling (very) sad recently. I had a flare up recently and going through it is just really tough. I was in a decent place prior and I’ve lost my footing because of some stress amongst other things. But I guess I’m just looking for some encouragement, I’ve been feeling a little discouraged since the intrusive thoughts are a little more often. I know it’ll get better but it’s just been tough. Send love ❤️🩹
