Guys I had ignored the thoughts for a day and it was wonderful. My mood was better than it used to be, the intrusive thoughts had minimized significantly ( for that day). But for some reason, I have anxiety but for no reason. I'm not even thinking about anything still I'm having the shaky feeling in my legs. Please help?!!! Is it normal?? Pls reply

It’s best to not ignore the thoughts since it’ll come back stronger

What about the shaky feeling in the legs? Is it anxiety ? It's like the feeling you get in your legs when you're scared

@raj123 I get those whenever I hyperventilate so yes it could be anxiety too

Stopping yourself from giving into compulsions as your main source of relief can cause a spike in anxiety before you really get used to it

So is it good ?

Actually, ignoring them is generally what you’re supposed to do! *As long as you’re not pushing them away or pretending they’re not there*, but simply not giving them attention or doing compulsions, you’re doing great. It’s okay to feel anxious. That lessens the more you refuse compulsions. Proud of you!
