Yeah I have had addictions like this and to other substances to try and cope with the obsessions and anxiety associated with OCD.

YES I’m so conscious about how I feel all the freaking time so every withdrawal symptom would be heightened

I am on day 10 of quitting using nicotine gum to cope so it isn’t as bad now when I have breathing panic attacks I don’t feel like my lungs are collapsing so it def does help the worse thing I feel is the bad need to hit it but it’s worth it

For a while it was the only thing that calmed the anxiety about not having anxiety it still is

I've quit vaping twice now (had a brief relapse this year for a few months). The first couple days are the toughest ones. You get tingly sensations cause your body is craving it. But If we can live with OCD, trust me, we can cope with a few bad days of nicotine withdrawals lol. Its just a habit to kick. The craving goes full away after 2 weeks :)

suic. ocd i’m panicking
Does anyone else get fixated on one “topic” with their ocd?? like for me trains and guns are mine. like i’m scared of trains and im scared to be around guns because that’s what triggers my ocd and makes me convince me that that is the way to go. i literally worry myself into thinking im going to sh*t myself when i don’t even have a gun but my ocd convinces me. idk if im explaining it good, but its a real struggle. just need some tips & advice

fear of death and ocd
so i have ocd but this is the main theme ive been dealing with for the last few months, im obsessed with my mortality and i feel trapped by the reality of death. i dont really believe in an afterlife which makes it scarier, not that i dont wanna my brain literally just wont let me. but i have daily panic attacks thinking about death all day, its honestly the toughest thing ive ever dealt with. does anybody have any tips on how they manage this if they have ever dealt with it? not looking for reassurance, just some non compulsive ways to kind of lessen the grip of the fear.
