Does anyone else get sick to their stomach sometimes when they get intrusive thoughts? I'm at work and got caught in a thought loop and feel extremely sick.

It doesnt happen all the time but it did when it started and just did now for the first time in a little while. They usually give me headaches too.

Yeah man I used to hate that feeling. Take a few deep breaths in and out they honestly work magic. Take a lil walk around too. It's you versus yourself at the end of the day. It will all pass if you let it. (Easier said than done). Stay safe g.

@TwylerGuy12 Ye I getchu man, take it easy for a little bit. I think ppl with OCD tend to push themselves pretty hard. Chill as much u can hehe. You're mind kinda slows itself down in time

I’ve had good days. But it got really bad for me last year. I went back to school and had a 99% in this class but because of the OCD/depression, I just lost my motivation and ended up getting a C. I just felt so tired and I just didn’t want to think.

I just lost all motivation and just didn’t want to put in the effort. It’s like well, you’re super stressed out, let’s have you work on these projects as well. I’m trying to get my motivation back but it’s hard.

@TheMusicalCow I understand. I had I'd say a decent week but the past few days have been very hard on me mentally. My motivation isnt great either for real, work is a struggle for me, I just recently got back to it. A lot of times I have dumb symptoms like headaches and stomach aches. Even know I have a really heavy pressure in my head. I'm sorry to hear about your school dude, I really am, luckily mine didnt start until after i was graduated from highschool but I cannot see myself going back to school any time soon with this shit going on.

Yes, acid reflux, dizziness, headaches among others. Its really distressing. What I did this morning is to sit with the discomfort, focus on my job and coworkes. I can say it worked a bit. I still haven’t answers to my obsessions, but my anxiety is more controllable.

I used to be able to distract myself with work, but the constant obsessing and depression leave me feeling drained and unmotivated. All I want to do is just watch tv and sleep.

I’ve been like this for 15 years and while I’ve gotten better, my OCD just seems to morph and now I’m just kind of tired. It’s just so much easier to just zone out and figuratively run away. Just watch tv and sleep.

@TheMusicalCow I totally feel you man. Sometimes the only thing I wanna do is sleep and play video games or sleep. Sleep is really the only actual peace I get from intrusive thoughts whenever I'm conscious I always feel off and weird and my mind never just rests.

I made the choice to go back, but it’s hard adding this on top of school. There are days when you feel so fried.

Makes me feel like a horrible person

That's what OCD feels like. Especially the constant questioning and doubt and the more you do it, the more you doubt yourself and it ends up leaving you open for other 'attacks'. I left the house today with my mom to run errands and things were fine, like my intrusive thoughts weren't bothering me that much in the beginning though they're constant in the background. Then when we stopped to get a drink from this store before leaving, I got more anxious because there were lots of kids around (it's afternoon here and i guess school was coming out). Kids were walking around in school uniform and I just told myself to keep looking away because i knew that my intrusive thoughts were going to flare up. Obviously that just made it worse and I just wanted to run away and crawl into a hole or something. Then a few minutes passed and then my brain said what if you were leering at the kids or looking at them inappropriately. And then my brain kept telling me that I wanted to or must have filmed one of them even though it's not something I want to do and know deep down that I didn't do it and don't want to. Ever. I just felt so disgusted with myself, I had to stop myself from crying on the way home. I hate this disease and I hate that its made its home in my head.

Intrusive thoughts & Panic

Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry I’m going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading
