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

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
