Does anyone else ever feel like this? When you're having a good day without a lot of fear after having multiple days of fear, you start worrying that your good day will be ruined by fear again. It's like anticipatory fear. Anyone else get this? I hate it but I don't know how to make it stop
I deal with the same thing, it’s so frustrating
@mazno Frustrating is the word
Yes, I do. I don't know how to cope with it so unfortunately I don't have any advice but I definitely know what you're talking about.
Absolutely. Do you also like check to see if what was bothering you still is or like check to see if it’s there?
For me both! It's like having a constant radar for trouble! When it happens it's like a "somethings grabbing my guts" type of feeling and somehow it happens! When it's settled I just go through the motions. On top of that I have a porn addiction I try to deal with and lust problems so it's alot😅
Yes! I constantly check which I know makes it worse but I'm almost like worried if I don't check too it's an endless loop
@Anonymous It is, but hey were hear to find a way aren't we😁!
I am too actually, it's because of my anxiety that this happens often! But for me it's cause often I go through anxiety attacks almost everyday and it's something I just press through! I don't take meds for it or recommend it but the most advice I can give you is to redirect your mind to something as a distraction and eventually your mind won't be bothered by the idea of your day being ruined! Hope this works for you and I'm also open to any advice you can give me😊
Thanks for the advice! Yeah I try to usually watch or listen to something that makes me happy. It's just extremely frustrating 😣
I get that! My therapist has encouraged me to "make friends" with fear and anxiety (or whatever feeling I'm feeling) rather than get scared of it and try to suppress it or avoid it. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it has really worked for me. When I start to feel anxious or afraid, I'll say in my head something like, "oh hey, there's anxiety, come here and get comfortable". When I do that, I'll still feel the anxiety or fear, but it doesn't last as long or get as bad. It moves on through, if that makes sense. Hope this might help you, too!
I keep getting a random feeling of anxiety, I’ll be doing good/better and then it randomly pops into my head. It’s not a specific thought it’s more of like an uneasy feeling that I can’t wrap my head around. It feels like a deep sense of doom/fear or something like that. I’m not sure if me trying to figure it out is a compulsion/ my ocd just wanting to figure it out or if I should just sit with it and let it be.
Hello everyone. So, basically every time I feel any kind of peace/pleasure (simple ones, like hmm today I’m enjoying a song, I felt good with my sleep, etc) my ocd tries to convince me something is wrong and then I get anxious because I was feeling good. It’s so messed up. Anyone been through this?
Does anyone else experience this lingering fear and anxiety because they think they’re capable of hurting someone? It’s killing me. I feel like I’m such a danger. I feel like I’m a predator. I feel like this awful person and I can’t shake it. I want to carry on with my day but I can’t. I don’t feel like I deserve it. I feel like I’ve done awful things. I can’t stop crying.
