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? š£

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. Iām not sure tho either, but the panic attacks come on so suddenly that they are so hard to stop.

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

Increase in Intrusive Thoughts
I have had a huge increase in Intrusive Thoughts this week. Itās making things super difficult for me, I am on my period but I also think Iām having more intrusive thoughts recently because things are going well for me right now. I just keep waiting for everything to fall apart because my mind makes me believe that I donāt deserve more than one good thing at a time. My mind is in constant fight or flight mode. I cannot stop thinking about every past mistake or how someone may have thought I had bad or malicious intentions when I didnāt. I keep thinking Iām going to get in trouble for something and go to jail, Iām especially scared about work and messing up someoneās check out and getting fired or arrested. I hate feeling this way, there is just so much going on in my head and Iām terrified and stressed all the time.

Intrusive thoughts
Why do same OCD thoughts I get still trigger anxiety or panic attacks no matter how many times Iāve had them and they never come true? Why do they still trigger panic/ fear even tho I know they never happen? For example Iāve had the thought āwhat if you harm someoneā or āwhat if you lose controlā they cause so much anxiety but they never happen? And every time they pop in my head again they still trigger me? Any advice
