This is kind of embarrassing for me but I thought id share it just incase others have the same problem, hopefully people might be able to relate or feel less alone. I have a really bad problem with urination and vomiting, my body just wees itself or throws up, the doctors have put it down to flight or fight, and my adrenaline is too high, lots of my bodies reactions and symptoms are a result of complex post traumatic stress which pocd does not help whats so ever. but the only way i can describe it is like do you know when a dog gets scared it'll wee itself, thats what my body does. its really frustrating its stop me from doing normal things and i have to wear ladies incontinence nappies on a daily basis just in case. I have thrown up and weed in class multiple times now, if i don't make it out in time. I have a high heart rate because of constant adrenaline, im currently on 160mg of propranolol- beatablocker, 50mg of quetiapine- anti psychotic and 45mg mitazaphine- anti depressant , and still my heart rate, disosiaction and panic attacks persist and the panic attacks mainly consist of vometing, urinating, sweating, tight/ pressure on my chest, clammy and disscoation. These occur on a daily basis majority at night due to nightmares. I am so a shamed of these problems and I know how embarrassing it can be, I hope this makes someone feel less alone ❤

@FUCKOFFOCD Thank you, that is very sweet of you. I think we all struggle just as much no matter what the differences dont we ? Hey, what person wouldn't be embarrassed ay, but if someone is able to relate and feel less alone then that's all that matters to me, I know how much it has relieved me finding out others experienced the same thing, its posts like these that the honestly really helps others who are too afraid to raise the topic. Thank you for your kindness ?

Tension to the point where i could drop dead from pain, either hyperawareness or dissociation, chronic fatigue, indigestion, hypersensitivity, teary eyes, inability to concentrate or just feeling like walking dead.

Lately since my anxiety has been higher than usual I’ve been feeling warmer overall, slightly less appetite but still able to eat full meals, my back constantly feels tight and I can feel the soreness when I do ERP because when the anxiety drops in the practice my muscles intense but then it’s sore, constantly feeling a sense of dread and fear in the middle of my core, kinda nauseous, pent up anxiety in the morning , etc. When my anxiety was at its all time high it completely killed my appetite, lost weight quickly, every time I went to the bathroom it was diarrhea, couldn’t stay asleep whatsoever I’d get nights of 1-2 hours of sleep, felt like I was vibrating from anxiety, vomiting, nauseous, etc

I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?

I feel like my whole life I’ve been overthinking everything. I remember having really bad intrusive thoughts as a kid but I thought I had gotten over it. I feel like I’m starting to see that it’s just not manifested in different ways. I tried to bring it up with my therapist but she thinks it’s just anxiety. I feel like it’s something more. Does anyone have any advice on what personally showed you what was the difference
