Your heart speaks in a way that your mouth cannot. These thoughts shape how you feel and breathe, but remember you are not defined by your thoughts; you are the one listening to them. This means you still have a choice and are not powerless. Respond to your racing heart with kindness, you are allowed to control the storm within you. Even if it’s just for a brief moment, remember that racing thoughts often indicate your body is in survival mode, preparing you for the worst, worst scenarios that usually never happen. Negative thoughts are not the truth they are simply fear. Your body is filled with these thoughts that just need space to breathe.
My heart has just been racing non stop and I dont know why :( I get out if breath really easily doing nothing and my heart beats really fast all the time. It's scary
@Anonymous Could be anxiety or possibly underlying respiratory issues do you believe the racing heart is related to your mental health?
@mui I'm not anxious atm and I don't have respiratory issues :( my heart is just always beating fast and I get out of breath really easily even just talking . I also get super dizzy
@Anonymous My wish is for you to inform this app and me of what you discover
Experiencing thoughts that make you feel horrible and intensely personal can be very frightening and lead to significant guilt and physical symptoms like a racing heart. I totally understand how uncomfortable you might be feeling Remember, the fact that these thoughts that cause you distress is often a sign they clash with your true values. Help is here at NOCD and we can assist you in finding outside help if needed too. First let just normalize how common this experience is. We all have intrusive thoughts but it's important to separate them from ourselves and remember that our thoughts are just that, Thoughts! When we search for meaning and purpose behind these thoughts that's what drives our distress. Second, We have to have empathy and self compassion towards ourselves.

I'd get that examined by a professional like an urgent care maybe all insight I can give you are those 2 original ideas
Same like what person with Pocd has this, I feel alone and just avoid everything by sleeping
I have all kinds of thoughts that aren’t me it feels like someone is talking to me telling me evil things about people or to do evil things 😞😞😞😞 I can’t do this anymore
idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have
Please help… my religious ocd is now thinking horrible thoughts about Jesus and I feel like I should be freaking out more…
