Staring anxiety

@thatguytron32 But how do I handle the awkwardness? When they notice?

@thatguytron32 I can’t open that link , what is it?

@thatguytron32 Thank you for the advice !

@nyx32 Just a more elaborate post about what I just expressed to you.

@thatguytron32 - I can't see the link anywhere, but could you send it again? (if you still have it) I'm struggling with this and didn't know if it was Ocd or not ans what was going on

@anonymousgirll Listen: we’re dealing with a monster of a mental ailment and the fact that we’re here shows that we have the knowledge and willingness to overcome. With that being said, drop caring about the way you are viewed by others and how you may appear in public. It’s okay to feel and appear distressed. Just maintain as positive an attitude while acknowledging your healing journey and understand anyone going through what you’re going through would be feeling the same exact way. If you were dealing with a visible ailment you wouldn’t feel the need to appear normal because the cast tells the story for you.. with ocd especially pure o sometimes you’re the only one who knows what you’re going through. It’s okay. Don’t be dismissive of your pain and progress. You’re battling a serious condition which is invisible to the public eye yet you still get up every morning and fight with all you have. That’s beyond good enough. Keep pushing!

@thatguytron32 Hey I reposted it here. If it has anything at all to do with your theme, and causes any form of distress and you feel a need to remedy the suffering, it is always ocd. It’s about rewiring your brain by refusing to engage. Just know when something occurs no matter how tricky, clever or convincing it may be, to make you uneasy around your theme(s), it’s OCD. Treat it as such and disregard. You’ll see that it was bs. Just don’t try to convince yourself amidst the trigger. Be still until it all passes. Down the line through consistent practice in grounding yourself in the present moment, the intensity of the symptoms slow down and you’ll be able to see for yourself that it’s a lie. Right now you can’t see it because you’re getting caught up in it. Start taking the leaps to disregard no matter how scary it feels and watch how your nervous system calms itself down. ☮️❤️

@thatguytron32 Also, don’t check for progress. The only thing you are responsible for is disregarding the thoughts/sensations/urges/nightmares etc. Every single time you do that, you are improving. Literally. Once you work courageously work yourself down to normalcy, you’ll see the fruits of your labor. As of now, just deal with situations from moment to moment and know that engagement means bad and disregarding is good. Good luck 🍀
