I think it happens because thoughts create fear, my hands usually get cold tho.

@youllwinthebattle Your brain is tricking you into thinking you’re in danger. So, all the things the body does to get ready to physically fight or flight, begin to happen. Elevates heart rate to help you run/fight harder. Sweat to get ready to cool the body that’s now in overdrive. Tensing of muscles, ready to react. Etc. I think the cold hands is because your body is pulling all the blood into your central systems as a defence thing. But I’m not a dr. And just paraphrasing from memory.

Definitely get this! It’s fight or flight. Give this a try…A psychological sigh, also known as a physiological sigh, is a simple breathing technique that can help reduce stress and anxiety by resetting the nervous system. It involves taking two quick, shallow inhales, followed by a slow, extended exhale. This pattern of breathing helps to balance oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, promoting relaxation and a sense of calm.

Yes, it used to be really bad. Sometimes I would have to run to the bathroom because of intestinal distress. But just keep going, it actually does get better. I am currently on prozac and its helped me to do a lot of self erp (not reccomended). Now, I instantly see those thoughts as OCD. They still get me every once in a while but the more you learn about how it presents, the easier it is to shut it down

Harm OCD
Does anyone else get super scared of feelings of adrenaline while you have intrusive thoughts? Like it feels like it’s trying to take over your body and those feelings of anger are trying to collide and dictate what ur body does? Now you feel impulsive and on edge and you feel like you are acting on your thoughts? Like I get thoughts about hurting family and I get super scared when I get feelings of anger about them and I feel that adrenaline! It’s all intrusive and I don’t like anything of it

Pls answer i beg yall
So recently my mind is trying to make me feel like I accept the thoughts, like I'm ok with for example loving X person. After I get a thought like that and I realize it I get anxious and, like right now, I cry for 1 hour+ on the bathroom floor. I feel exhausted and I want to know if I'm the only one having this.
