Panic attack?
My recent intrusive thoughts have been triggering bad panic attacks. Do you guys also get panic attacks or anxiety from your intrusive thoughts? 😣

Yes so many! The intrusive thoughts completely override my mind and I rather start to cry or panic. Usually panic attacks happen for me when we are doing enjoyable activities. I questioned medication too, but from other sources, medications seem to be less beneficial for ocd. I’m not sure tho either, but the panic attacks come on so suddenly that they are so hard to stop.

@Lilly2442! It’s awful! I almost don’t know what’s worse, the panic attacks or the intrusive thoughts themselves 😣

Yes. I had to check into a mental hospital because of them. I am on anxiety medication (Buspar and Zoloft) which is helping.

@Anonymous I think I’m going to invest in medication 😣 the panic attacks are sometimes worse than the thoughts

Just got one last night it’s terrible. Mine was from something I saw that triggered my anxiety. Do you feel like you have to recover from the panic attack the next day or days after? I feel like shit today

Advice?
Ive been struggling with the fear that if i am suicidal or something and ive been having like fears or intrusive thoughts of jumping off or losing control and acting on these thoughts and i dont know if this is just some very bad case of anxiety? Im always thinking about it trying to prove it wrong in my head and its gotten to a point where its effecting my sleep, i use chat gpt. I know deep down i dont wanna do any of it, i mean the very thought makes me panic quick so idk i just want to forget all these thoughts and i was wondering if anyone goes through this as well?

OCD
I’ve been triggered so bad this week I’ve had bad anxiety and feel depression coming on. Last night I had a thought oh let’s plan it and I immediately thought why would I think that and started crying bad. I’ve had these thoughts for 7 months I really don’t know why I’m having these thoughts, if I knew I would work on it. Like people say has something happened in your life for you to have these thoughts and nothing has happened, it all started off from what if thoughts , like “what if I’m a psycho” because I saw this fb post saying introverts are more likely to become psychopaths and it all spiralled from there I started getting thoughts about harm towards others and myself. What do you think guys should I treat it like ocd or do you think there’s something seriously wrong with me.
