In general, alcohol is bad for mental health. I love drinking a beer after work or going out on weekends, but because I do have OCD, when my symptoms are bad, I limit myself to one beer at social occasions. Basically, having OCD does not mean you should never drink, but just be mindful that drinking may impact your mental health.

I remember once i was very anxious while i was drinking and felt a bit dizzy while i was drinking alochol. But months later i found myself trying to force myself into not having a panic attack and i felt just like that time anxious and dizzy. So i think the first time i was not drunk i was just anxious cause i actually didnt wanna get drunk. I know it has nothing to do with what happened to you but i wanted to share you my experience heh

I felt really dizzy too and that spiked my anxiety. My intrusive thought just popped in my head and i didn’t react at first until I realized that I had had one and then the buzz went a way and anxiety started really bad lol. I have always had a fear of getting drunk so I know what you mean about becoming really anxious about getting drunk! I have been there too, I just thought I got better with that cause I have been drunk and in the past and didn’t really care about anything until the next day lol so it was very weird for me.

Very true! I usually limit myself as well to just one but my friends were drinking and I got caught up and paid for it lol. I’m feeling a bit better now it was just the weirdest experience. I have never been anxious while actually drinking, always the day after. It just shows that intrusive thoughts can happen anytime! I’m gonna lay off the drinking for awhile. I hardly do anyways lol.

I’m wondering if anyone has any insight or tips
So recently I have been talking to this guy and I really like him and for the past week I felt really good and happy about it, but then a sneaky intrusive thought popped up about what if in the future when and if the time comes to sleep in the same bed, I inappropriately touch him while he’s sleeping. Now I’ve struggled with sexual intrusive thoughts like that before so my brain just kept reminding me of how that thought felt the last time it came up, and the thoughts of sexually harming this person started snowballing and making me feel worse and worse. I spent most of the day crying and panicking wishing my brain could just shut down, and now all I want to do is hide from this person so I don’t get the chance to hurt him, which makes me feel even worse because I had been feeling so good about him just the other day. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if they might have any insight

OCD
I’ve been triggered so bad this week I’ve had bad anxiety and feel depression coming on. Last night I had a thought oh let’s plan it and I immediately thought why would I think that and started crying bad. I’ve had these thoughts for 7 months I really don’t know why I’m having these thoughts, if I knew I would work on it. Like people say has something happened in your life for you to have these thoughts and nothing has happened, it all started off from what if thoughts , like “what if I’m a psycho” because I saw this fb post saying introverts are more likely to become psychopaths and it all spiralled from there I started getting thoughts about harm towards others and myself. What do you think guys should I treat it like ocd or do you think there’s something seriously wrong with me.
