I am having the worst panic attack of my life, I'm a dumbbass and I read some stupid cooks that trigerred my pocd in a massive way. I'm freaking out so bad, can anyone talk to me. I feel like im dying for real
I’m here
Ty for being here 💓 just really panicked atm, my pocd is insane
@Cats in the dark Just remember the thoughts only have as much control as you’re willing to give them
@Blueberrycows The pocd thing also made me worry about other stuff and I cant calm down
@Cats in the dark Look around your room or where ever you are tell me 5 things you can see 4 things you can touch 3 things you can hear 2 things you can smell around you 1 things you can taste
I get it. The other day I binged on depressing videos about my theme, and was so upset at myself.
Yeah ik the books were bad and I got hooked on the story and read the 3 books in one day... im freaking out so bad rn
Feeling any better?
I'm actually feeling a lot worse
@Cats in the dark I’m so sorry. Do you want to talk about it?
@Anonymous243 My boyfriend said something horrible to me and I think he doesn't love me. I had calmed down for the pocd but after he said that I cried 3 times and I feel awful
@Cats in the dark I’m so so sorry. Did you talk to him about it? My boyfriend and I had a bad conversation last night and my rocd has been bad since. You arent alone
Hi there! I see you are struggling a lot with panicking. I have been there a thousand times over and I totally get that every minute feels like it’s worst than the last and how the heck will you make it through!! What gives OCD/that anxiety feeling so much power is the forbidden nature of it. It plays a scary thought and immediately you say “no no no please no”. In reality it doesn’t actually matter what the content of the fear is. Today it could be POCD, tomorrow it could be HOCD or anything else. The content does.NOT.matter. It’s the fear of uncertainty. The best thing I have found to combat uncertainty is simply welcoming it. Sit for a few minutes and feel the terrible scary feelings, breath deep and say “these thoughts and feelings are welcome” and move on to saying “in fact, I want this anxiety. I want these feelings of fear and uncertainty, give me more” keep sitting with it and saying that and dare to mean it. See what happens. When you say you want the anxiety, it loses its power.
Check out the book “stopping the noise in your head”. It changed my life! And I highly recommend ERP therapy with a therapist on this app. It really changed everything for me
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.
I told a few people on social media about my OCD, including POCD and how distressing it is. But everyone went quiet, then a few hours later I posted that I don’t support pedophilia at all neither do I justify it or am a pedo. Then someone replied with: “I think someone might take it bc u have such an obsessive fear of it u might have actual p3 do philic tendencies” I can’t do this anymore, I’m terrified to spiral again like a few months ago but I’m on the brink of doing it again. I’m shaking and stressing tf out I hate this so so so so so much
Im having weird scary pocd thoughts and i really hate them, i feel like theyre my own thoughts and im freaking out
