for me, my main tic is my neck/head jerking back and to the left, and sometimes my eyes close really hard and i clench my teeth while i do the head jerk haha! also when i’m really anxious i’ll hit myself in the head, which i think started as a kind of compulsion to “knock the thoughts out of my head” but now it’s just a tic. my tics come for like a week or two at a time, and they only really happen at night or when i’m really anxious, or if i think about the fact that i have tics sometimes that triggers them!

I have had tics since childhood, but worse since COVID... What I call OCD tics.... I shake my head to one side - like getting something out of my ear...thinking there is a bug (intrusive thoughts) turn head and touch temples (head near eye)- afraid of going crossed eyed (instrustive thought). Not OCD...might be something else...idk Anxiety one looks like I’m sneezing when I’m sometimes talking about something very distressing. Vocal tic - mouth clicking , usually alone when bored

Anxious about everything
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me

Rolling Anxiety Attacks with OCD?
Does anyone have any experience with this? I wake up early with severe, severe anxiety and nothing seems to help. I try embracing the anxiety, breathing, and exercising. But these things only seem to help a little. Fortunately, I do think the length of the attacks are getting shorter (mainly because I'm still trying my best to live normally in spite of them), but they are still lasting a good 5-6 hours. They are quite debilitating. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with these? I've read much about potential solutions (being okay with the anxiety), but I was looking for some personal antecdotes. Thank you
