Guys I fear what if I go blind due to anxiety which is giving me more anxiety
i’ve recently also had this worry
So can you tell me how you are coping with this recently
@happiness._.123 sorry for the late reply , i was busy ! , but what i did was try to forget about the topic and it relax . What also helped me is finding out that anxiety can’t cause sudden blindness or ever cause blindness 🙏
@yenyenyen Thanks
I’ve had this high stress causes alot of pressure on your eyes I would just say let it happen and eventually it will go away which is extremely hard trust me I’ve seen doctors for it and everything multiple times but I learned to just let it happen I get rally bad floaters too
Then you would deal with it when or if it were to happen. There is no way to know for certain, and doing compulsions (like asking for reassurance, or simply even entertaining these “what if” questions), will not help you it will only contribute to your disorder and the vicious cycle you’re in. You may or may not go blind. Lean into that uncertainty and feel the fear without giving into your compulsions. It’s tough work but you are strong and you can do hard things. Feel the fear and continue moving towards you values anyway.
I am so so so anxious, I cant even describe it. I have this horrific anxious feeling going through my body where it feels like im about to do something terrible. I feel incredibly sick, shakey, panicky. Due to this harm ocd episode. I am so scared that I might act on a disgusting horrific harm intrusive thought. I dont wanna be near knives, go to the kitchen or even get up. As im so scared that Im going to act on it. I know I dont want to but this anxiety and horrid feeling makes me feel like i do. I am petrified the anxiety is terrifying. I sat in the kitchen earlier while my brother was close and I was scared because it feels so real even typing this im starting to panic. Please respons please and please say if your uk based it brings me a bit of comofrt as I know im not alone in this country! What makes it worse is my family were talking about their aspirations and dreams then i felt even more scared of the intrusive thoughts because if i did act on them they would be destroyed and then I also feel so much guilt cos i get scared my bf is scared of me has anyone had this does it go.
I'm currently living through a massive health scare with really scary symptoms. I am scared I might have an aneurysm due to my symptoms but despite that the doctor's don't think it's urgent. I have some test scheduled but I will have to wait weeks for some of them. I don't know how to get through this knowing I could die any moment. I live in constant terror ever since those symptoms started. I can't function. Can anyone here please help me with this??? I don't know what to do?
I’m anxious about HIV. What if I get it? That’s a scary thought to me. And then I’m scared/worried about giving it to others, not knowing if I have it, etc.
