Everything will be okay:) picture yourself on a good day sitting with your partner on the couch watching your favorite show/snacks and having your favorite snacks. I know it won’t fix it but just remind yourself that you do have good days and it will be okay. Don’t do it all the the because it could turn into a compulsion. But just this once and occasionally as a gentle reminder. I should give myself the same advice. It’s so easy to get caught up in the spiral

@tig.chi I like that messaging, possible doesn’t mean probable. Thank you.

Even if it doesn’t feel like it, at some point the flare up will calm and you will feel better!

Experiencing such a 'bad day' where thoughts spiral intensely after an unexpected trigger sounds incredibly difficult. The image you described sounds terrifying, and it's understandable why you'd feel overwhelmed. Managing such strong reactions can feel isolating, but support is out there.

Severe panic attack
Today I woke up with severe panic attack. My heart jumps out of my chest. As I do every morning. When I wake up and my brain is awake it automatically goes straight to intrusive thoughts about my partner, my life and everything else. That I don’t love her, I don’t want to be with her and she’s not the one for me and I should break up with her. This all happened from TikTok comments I saw that triggered this. Since then I haven’t been able to stop my thoughts. I know she is the one for me I know I love her I just can’t stop the thoughts. It feels so real. The voices feel so real.

Bad days idkk
I feel so horrible and guilty, I've been pretty depressed lately and I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or not but my mom keeps getting mad at me, and I keep getting snappy with her. The other day she tried to take a selfie with me and I kinda got mad at her because it was in front of everyone and I didn't want to get anyone uncomfortable if they were accidently in the background so I told her stop in a kind of mean way. She stopped talking to me for the rest of the night and she keeps bringing up how disrespectful I am. I tried to explain to her I didn't mean anything mean by it?? It's triggering my OCD so bad and tonight i'm going to see a band I really wanted to see, and i'm super afraid shes gonna start bringing up how mean i've been lately. I've been really depressed and upset because of school and how much work their giving me, and I've been in my room for mostly more than 10 hours a day doing nothing but watching TV because I can't bring myself out of it, I don't know what to do anymore and the guilt of me possibly being a mean and aggressive person is haunting me.

Real event
I’m stuck in a loop, I can’t stop avoiding the thoughts by watching tik tok, I’m paralyzed on the couch, I’m searching for clues everywhere that something bad is happening I don’t know how to go on like this anymore my fears are so strong so present they feel so real. Any mention of the future sends my whole body into panic. My arms go numb, I can’t keep living like this i feel like I’m going crazy
