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 :)

Anyone else?
Has anyone else ever mistaken adrenaline or anxiety for ‘excitement’ or ‘happiness’ over a bad thought and then it made you feel like there is something wrong with you? Online it says adrenaline/anxiety/excitement can all feel the same and after going through ocd for so long I feel like I got use to the feeling of anxiety and I feel confused sometimes as to whether I actually feel anxious or not. I feel really worried I don’t know I don’t even know what I feel anymore I had this stabbing thought and then I had this feeling where it felt almost like I was happy or enjoying it or wanted it and had the urge feeling and. Now I’m worried there is something wrong with me because it felt like it was a real ‘desire’ and now I’m worried and I can’t forget about it or get over it

Harm OCD
Does anyone else get super scared of feelings of adrenaline while you have intrusive thoughts? Like it feels like it’s trying to take over your body and those feelings of anger are trying to collide and dictate what ur body does? Now you feel impulsive and on edge and you feel like you are acting on your thoughts? Like I get thoughts about hurting family and I get super scared when I get feelings of anger about them and I feel that adrenaline! It’s all intrusive and I don’t like anything of it

Tingling or arousal sensations?
Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?
