According to google: "Succession splash Also known as a gastric splash, this is a sloshing sound that can be heard when you move your stomach quickly while drinking water on an empty stomach. It's caused by the presence of gas and fluid in your stomach, and you can hear it without a stethoscope. When you push your stomach out, it sounds like something is filling with fluid, and when you let your breath out, it gurgles."
I listen way too closely to everything my body does, because of OCD. I have been exactly here before and I’ll tell you this is something you should try accepting. Sit with the uncertainty as best you can. Reach out if you need anything
@redbud it’s super hard- how do i stop listening to bodily sounds and critiquing my compulsions as “wrong” if i hear one of those noises
@redbud i know this is weird but if i feel something in my butt i assume i farted even when i didn’t and then i have to restart
@Anonymous7779 Don’t try and stop listening. Let yourself listen and try to stop resisting the thoughts that come up. Listening is the obsession. You need to stop the compulsions that come after you notice your stomach make a sound. Do you know what some are?
@redbud some of what?
@Anonymous7779 Your compulsions that come up when you notice the stomach sounds
@redbud it’s with drinking water- if i hear sounds in my throat/stomach while drinking water or after it, or if i hear a burp go down my throat/stomach if that makes sense, then i have to start all over again and drink the water again.
@Anonymous7779 That makes sense. Maybe try drinking water until you hear the sound and then see how long you can resist drinking more
@redbud the issue is if i hear the sound i need to start again. the compulsion is so hard and elaborate that when i try to fix it it takes hours. i had to stop for the night because i don’t feel like going insane tonight.
Our bodies make all kind of noises if we’re really listening. Sometimes we listen too closely if we’re anxious.
@CJL81 but everytime i drink water ?

@Zahra991 no i mean after i drink like the minutes after it, my stomach makes noises
Hey there everyone, first I would like to say I am very grateful for every single one of you on this platform and it feels so much better knowing that I can be heard. I’ve been hyperaware of my swallowing for 1-2 month. I feel like I have so much saliva in my mouth and I have to swallow and swallow. I feel the urge to swallow even I don’t NOTHING in my mouth, so I just swallow air. This has been really overwhelming and I feel like I can be so easily latched to other body part of my part. For example, I was conscious about my blinking and breathing for a few days, and now I get so anxious when I heard a weird sound my ears make after each sentence I speak. Is this somatic ocd or health concern ocd? I am so helpless and having a hard time to shift my attention. Does anyone have any suggestions or just words of encouragement would really help me at this moment. I REALLY appreciate your help. 💗🙏 Thank you !
For a while now, I've been having trouble concentrating... especially when studying... so I'd play the sound of rain or a forest or something similar to distract myself, and when I'd finish and turn it off... a pile of thoughts would come back to me as if they'd piled up on me!!! Anxiety, rituals... what should I do?
I am so tired of having intrusive thoughts everytime i try to eat anything cause my mind immediately goes to “what if this tastes like human meat” “what if the texture is like human meat” and i have to stop eating and i start crying it annoys me so bad and i lost some weight because of it i just want to be normal again and to stop these thoughts they happened out of nowhere and i talked to some people about it and they tell me what cannibals have said and it has made things so much worse tbh im just so exhausted and i wanna eat healthy again
