If it goes on longer than just a day I suggest going to the doctor? Bodies get weird sometimes, they’re not perfect so it could just be a random incidence but it never hurts to get checked out! ?

When I’m incredibly Anxious or my ocd and intrusive thoughts are making me distressed and panicked I’ve noticed I jerk of twitch my arm I don’t know why I think it may be an overwhelming wave of anxiety that my body just doesn’t know how to cope with. Try not to over think the Tourette’s idea because your ocd may hold on to that and use it as a new obsession. If it continues or gets worse over a long period of time then have a chat wit your doctor. It is most likely anxiety, anxiety makes the body do all sorts of weird things so don’t worry too much!

I can’t diagnose, but, This kind of body sensation awareness is a common one for me when OCD is flared up, casting a giant magnifying glass on body experiences and in most cases spurring on more of the condition. The condition cedes when it can’t traction in my mind. It get’s lets traction not because I’ve eliminated all possibility of it being something worse, but because I’ve just let it be snd moved forward onto something else

I know a few of you saw my posts about my ERP and the googling urges. That didn’t end up going well. My therapist actually decided we needed to halt it for now. The thing is it’s almost like I learned googling is harmless from those few exercises and my brain keeps generating more things to google. Normally I would just spiral and be done but now I can barely hold back from searching for long. I eventually give in. I’m horrified because it feels like I want to find illegal content. I swear on everything I am, I don’t want to find anything even close to it. I’m freaking out because I don’t understand what’s happening. I keep compulsively searching/testing/checking or idk. I keep remembering details and I feel like I need to google again to be sure of something. I feel absolutely insane can someone please help me??? I’m petrified I’m going to get in trouble.

I have the thought of what if I lose control and do something out of my control like scream for no reason or yelling in a store or just blurting stuff out that’s not in my control and it causes so much anxiety and causes me to feel weird. I always think I’m on the edge of losing control of myself and it’s exhausting living like this. Any tips?

Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?
