Hi everyone! Does anyone think that anytime can have a heart attack? I have this obsession in my head and I repeat good things to make me relax, but it doesn't work.

Hey there—I just wanted to say that I think asking this is reassurance-seeking, in case it’s helpful for you to know that. Repeating things to relax might be compulsions.

Thanks for the advice. It's very hard for me to ignore these thoughts and I end up in a cycle ( obsession ---> compulsion). I'll try not to do this.

@Rose Recognizing is the first step :/ I’m not great at resisting compulsions yet but understanding what’s going on really helps me in itself.
