Yes, I am not sure how to explain it but in a way my body floods with it. It’s like everything around me stops and I can hear my heart beating fast. It’s can be scary sometimes because when I think of horrible things in my thoughts I have that same feeling. Almost as if you are making out with someone it feels like a high you reach it’s very confusing to explain.

Literally I have the same experience! The only difference really is sometimes I have the pure rush without the thoughts just the anxiety and the urge to run away. But most of the time I have it with the intrusive thoughts

@Viny I experience this more than when I’m arguing with someone. I always avoid confrontation often times it’s like I’m paranoid or maybe I think I’m hallucinating. 2 weeks ago I was waiting for the bus at the rough parts of the city and I decided to get a drink from McDonalds I was walking and all I could hear was my heart beating fast my mind was blank next thing I know I was adjacent to a man on the sidewalk I froze and backed in a corner I thought he was going to kill me. Turns out he was a nice dude and taught me next time to run the opposite direction instead of in the corner because if he was a bad man he would’ve killed me. I was relieved he was a good man but ever since then when I walk at night I am scared someone will attack me. The way my mind saw him coming toward me was like he was darting full force in my direction.

@miku -_- I feel this anxiety in two instances. When I am walking alone and it’s dark because I am a female and I don’t have pepper spray or a taser. Or when I am in closed tight spaces I am very claustrophobic to the point I get this feeling and I pass out it has happened before.

What I try to do when I am triggered is bite my tongue or distract myself especially when I am actively arguing with someone it like I can get so angry my heart rate rises and I can hurt someone. I’ve had a couple instances where that has happened and I felt immense guilt because I physically hurt someone and after it felt as if I wasn’t in control it’s like my mind was blank and next thing I know all I can hear is my heart beating fast and my hands on the person. So best thing to do is walk away if it’s a person triggering you and come back with a cool mind. If it’s an object triggering you do the same walk away and come back with a cool mind. Trust me objects can be triggering also I want to smash a shoe rack I was making because it took me 2 hrs to build and I was stressed come to find out I kept putting the pieces backwards 😭

That sound very intense I'm so sorry this happens to you. I had similar reactions some time ago, specially when I get stressed enough it boils up to anger I don't hurt others but myself and objects. :/

@Viny I guess the best thing to do is try to keep a cool mind. You’re not alone It’s an uncomfortable feeling when you experience it :( you can always message me if you need a person to talk to :)

Triggered ?
Does anyone else read other peoples post and think it’s for them or about them and their situation and start to think that’s what they are going through themselves ? Or like I’m blaming ocd but it’s my brain actually telling that’s how I actually feel?

question
Am I the only one who, when an unwanted thought appears, the heart starts beating very fast??

intentionally looking at the trigger?
does it happen to you that you suddenly have the urge to look at the trigger on purpose (for me it makes me look at pictures and look for facial expressions that associate me with sex) people, pictures, something...? Always when I do it, it's like I deliberately imagine something sexual about it, and if there's no reaction, I imagine it until I get it? ??? What am I doing anymore?
