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

My mind keeps telling me “something is wrong with you. the weird feeling you are feeling or the weird tingling you are feeling or there is a weird mark on your body. Those are actually a severe symptom and by ignoring it you could die!” Or especially the constant, “go to the emergency room because this impending doom you are feeling, yeah that’s because your gonna die shortly” It doesn’t help whenever people say “well if something was wrong your body would tell you” because my mind keeps telling me that what I’m feeling is proof something is wrong and I need to get it checked out. That I actually am severely sick and that I need to get it checked out as soon as possible, that if I get one more test than I’ll be okay because it will prove nothing is wrong. How do I tell my mind that it’s just anxiety whenever my mind keeps telling me “well if you keep saying that you could be ignoring something more serious.” Or “the doctors are just brushing you off..something is wrong with you” It’s hard to live with my thoughts whenever they are constantly coming up with ways to challenge me and challenge logic. New reasons on why I need to get this checked out because “I’m just being ignored” or “no one is listening to me so I’ll just end up dying” My symptoms range from weak and shaking legs and body to dizzy and unbalanced and dissociated. Recently I’ve been getting this tingling feeling inside my head and on the back of my neck. And my temples have pressure on them. My body keeps coming up with new symptoms I need to worry about, whenever most of them are probably caused by severe and constant anxiety. So severe I can’t even leave the house because I constantly worry about whether this is severe and something will happen if I leave the house. I need immediate ways to start fixing this because it’s especially horrible whenever my period comes around and my anxiety/depression is already higher than usual. I’ve even started considering taking medication (Zoloft, 25mg) which is another trigger for me, I worry about the symptoms I might get from taking it. That’s how you know it’s gotten pretty bad whenever I’ve come to taking something that I’ve been actively avoiding. What are your thoughts? Do I take the medication? What are ways I can deal with my symptoms that seem so severe in the moment but pass by once I’m not anxious? What are ways my thoughts can ease and I stop taking every symptom as something serious, because at the end of the day my anxiety is most likely the reason I have these horrible symptoms. I’ve always been extremely healthy and everytime I go to the doctors they express how healthy I am with all the tests I’ve had.

Has anyone ever just felt weird? It’s hard to explain but I just feel weird lately. I usually suffer with harm OCD and I feel like lately I’m not reacting to things I normally would. There’s certain things that will trigger me a little but then other times (like over the last few days) it’s like I feel nothing. I’ll get thoughts and because I don’t feel the physical sensation in my chest or get very emotional like I normally would it’s weird to me. Does this mean I’m liking the thoughts now? Or like I’m comfortable with those actions happening? I’m so confused. Has anyone ever gone through this?
