I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed and anxious, especially during challenging times. Try deep breathing exercises to calm your nervous system. Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for a count of four, and exhale through your mouth for a count of four. Repeat this several times. Engaging in physical activities, whether it's a walk, yoga, or any form of exercise, can help to release built-up tension and improve your mood. Practices like mindfulness or meditation can help you stay grounded and reduce anxious thoughts by focusing on the present moment. Reducing caffeine and sugar intake can lower anxiety levels, as these can exacerbate feelings of nervousness. If possible, limit your exposure to stressors in your life, whether it's work-related stress, social media, or other pressures. Seek professional help if your anxiety feels unmanageable. Remember to be kind to yourself during this time. It's okay to seek help and take breaks when you need them.
@Amara Thank you Iām feeling a little better today I am a first time mom to a eight month old daughter so it could be postpartum depression. Iām not exactly sure
@Amara I be trying to hold it together but sometimes I just be wanting to break down and I donāt like bothering people with my problems so Iām the type of person that just holds everything in so Iām just a big ball of emotions
I'm really sorry to hear that, Eva. Just know we're here for you and if there's anything we can do specifically to help let us know!
@OCD Helping Hand Thank you I really appreciate that
I canāt stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, theyāre so fast I canāt keep up. I want to tell everyone around me whatās happening (my family doesnāt even know about my OCD). I canāt seem to resist compulsions today. Iām freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like Iām suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I donāt know how to ask for help. I donāt feel okay. I donāt understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. Iām really scared Iām sorry, I am so panicked. Itās embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy
If anyone is free I really need to talk. Iām panicking
So my OCD got that bad to the point where Iām barely having ocd and my body is stuck in stress, I canāt sleep, my mind is soo loud and my chest hurts and my vains are popping out and I feel like my body is shutting down what do I do ā¹ļø I donāt even feel like I am here I canāt focus on anything Iām always zoned out
