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 🥰🥰
My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.
Recently, I’ve been struggling a ton with what I eat/put into my body? I’m a first year college student with a few different health issues (including IBS), and lately it’s been hard for me to find food on campus that doesn’t upset my stomach. I also have pretty severe emetophobia, and feel extremely anxious when I feel sick. The ironic thing is that being anxious makes me feel even worse, so I end up sticking myself in an impossible loophole. My OCD has taken hold of these fears over the past few months, and it’s been such a struggle. Especially since people have been getting food poisoning from various dining halls on my campus lately. My OCD has gotten so bad that sometimes I’m too afraid to eat food other than what I buy myself. I feel so trapped. I don’t want my OCD to affect my physical health or prevent me from eating, bc I love eating!! It’s the fear of getting sick that’s the problem. And it’s even harder when everything is so unfamiliar. Just wondering if anyone could relate. Advice is appreciated!
I had a horrible thought and it was my own thought. I feel awful. Also my heart is racing all the time
