Hi, I’m so sorry you are experiencing this. Try to breathe and return to the present moment by assuring yourself that you are completely okay and supported. Make sure that ur muscles aren’t tense and take very deep breaths. I’m currently having a lot of anxiety and I’m trying my best to help myself and I’m trying to think of what makes me most happy as I completely relax my body. I hope this helps you :)
As someone who intensely fears that feeling and has OCD around it. This exact feeling happened to me like 2 hours ago after dinner and I just laid down and rested and it passed. Not sure if it was my brain psyching me out or a genuine health thing but either way I got past it and YOU WILL TOO! <3 btw I’m also scared of everything so I feel you - OCD sucks but you are stronger
Im just scared of everything
hi! place a heating pad on your stomach and play a game or watch your favorite show. let yourself and i mean LET yourself be distracted. this is hard to do. one time i felt suicidal and was crying to my bf telling him this feeling would not go away but he put on a show and i had to LET myself be distracted. it definitely tried to keep upsetting me, especially when my attention was drawn to it and i was almost looking for it. but you can do this. stomach pain typically lasts about a couple hours so give yourself a distraction and put your mind to rest!
Thank you so much for the advice ill try to do that 🥰🥰
When i see something, get reminded of something or talk to someone that triggers my train of thoughts, i feel a sudden racing spike in my heart, a knot in my stomach, kind of like that nervous butterfly feeling you get when you’re on a rollercoaster thats about to go downhill, or when you get jump-scared. My hands start to sweat and i just want to remove myself from the situation asap, wishing i felt the way i did about 2 minutes ago when i was doing just fine and wasn’t overthinking for once. The OCD goes wild in my head, instant overanalysis, sending me down into a spiral, making me want to dig a hole and hide in there until i somehow manage to persuade myself im not a bad person before I can go about with my day with ease again.
I’ve been feeling really really depressed the past few days due to health concerns. I’ve been really feeling down like not wanting to be here anymore and it’s scaring me. I was in the doctor’s office this morning and I got a scary thought that said maybe I should just k*ll someone in here instead of k*lling myself. Then the thoughts continued… this man walked past and I thought “hurt him” I obviously wouldn’t want to hurt anyone let alone a bug on the sidewalk, but the thoughts began to overtake me and I had a panic attack. It’s still bothering me and I’m still scared it’s real and that I’m going crazy. This happens to me a lot after I watch a documentary about someone who hurt someone else. I begin to think I am somehow going to go crazy like the person in the documentary and hurt someone. Although I don’t want to .. I would never ever want to hurt anyone.
My health concern OCD has been getting A LOT worse in the last days. I'm always panicking about having some serious illness, and I have yet again come to the point where I can't understand if I feel actually unwell or if it's just my mind. I'm under a lot of stress these days, I have some big changes coming up, and I know this is my way of coping, but it's tiring
