I have a cold rn. And I think just not feeling good physically is making me feel not good mentally, which affecting my ocd. I’m basically nervous about throwing up or having a panic attack. And I’ve been crying about it because I hate the way I feel when I’m sick and it genuinely makes me nervous anyways. Does anyone have any tips on how to calm down if you ever feel like this

I’m so sorry. That really sucks. Try to sleep as much and you can and drink as much water as you can. I know that’s advice for illnesses in general but it will help. Try to distract yourself with something that you’re really entertained by. Like a show, game, or book. Or you could try out a new show, game, book, etc. that you haven’t experienced before. Or one that you haven’t experienced in years. Do whatever you can to entertain yourself so you have no time to panic. I hope you feel better soon! ❤️

Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot. :) I think the main reason I’m so anxious is because when i was really bad with my ocd, all I did was lay in bed, and it’s bringing back a lot of memories I don’t like. But I’m sitting with it as much as I can!

@Peanut.pie I know how you feel. I really hope you feel better soon! I would weigh this on no one! You’re awesome! :) 👍
