is it normal to hear stomach noises after every time i drink water - can hearing these noises be avoided
is it normal to hear stomach noises after every time i drink water - can hearing these noises be avoided
According to google: "Succession splash Also known as a gastric splash, this is a sloshing sound that can be heard when you move your stomach quickly while drinking water on an empty stomach. It's caused by the presence of gas and fluid in your stomach, and you can hear it without a stethoscope. When you push your stomach out, it sounds like something is filling with fluid, and when you let your breath out, it gurgles."
I listen way too closely to everything my body does, because of OCD. I have been exactly here before and I’ll tell you this is something you should try accepting. Sit with the uncertainty as best you can. Reach out if you need anything
@redbud it’s super hard- how do i stop listening to bodily sounds and critiquing my compulsions as “wrong” if i hear one of those noises
@redbud i know this is weird but if i feel something in my butt i assume i farted even when i didn’t and then i have to restart
@Anonymous7779 Don’t try and stop listening. Let yourself listen and try to stop resisting the thoughts that come up. Listening is the obsession. You need to stop the compulsions that come after you notice your stomach make a sound. Do you know what some are?
@redbud some of what?
@Anonymous7779 Your compulsions that come up when you notice the stomach sounds
@redbud it’s with drinking water- if i hear sounds in my throat/stomach while drinking water or after it, or if i hear a burp go down my throat/stomach if that makes sense, then i have to start all over again and drink the water again.
@Anonymous7779 That makes sense. Maybe try drinking water until you hear the sound and then see how long you can resist drinking more
@redbud the issue is if i hear the sound i need to start again. the compulsion is so hard and elaborate that when i try to fix it it takes hours. i had to stop for the night because i don’t feel like going insane tonight.
Our bodies make all kind of noises if we’re really listening. Sometimes we listen too closely if we’re anxious.
@CJL81 but everytime i drink water ?
Yehhh everytimeI drink water and I sit it goes gloop, it’s normal don’t worry
@Zahra991 no i mean after i drink like the minutes after it, my stomach makes noises
Legit all ^ How to get rid of them or ignore them
What if the harm ocd never ever goes away and i have to live with this FEELING. like even when im not having an intrusive thought i still have this feeling of the thought. Is this normal LIKE I DO NOT WANT TO ACT ON AN intrusive thought AT ALL but im so full of panic because im having intruisve thoughts like “what if i did” “what if i just do it and dont care” “what if i dont care” “what if it doesn’t matter if i were to act out on the thoughts” Is this normal because im so scared because this feeling in my head and chest im just scared. Anyone who relates how long did u have this for / the feeling/ thoughts. Pls help! Im so scared because sometimes it even comes into existential like “Why does it matter if i did that” Please
I think im asking my intuition/spirit guides, and I mean ANY decision... Should i go eat, should i eat this or that, should i drink this, should i go do this or that, even in video games. It's everything from tiny choices to important ones. I think its some form of me making sure I do the thing in my best interest or whichever will have the best outcome for me, and i don't want anything with a bad outcome. Im not exactly sure when I started doing this but I've had it bad for at least 2+ years now. I feel like it's driving me insane because I KNOW i want to stop, even my spirit guides remind me i have to make my own choices because that's how life works, we aren't born knowing what's going to happen for a reason. Yet, I can't seem to stop myself. The worst part is, it's never decisive. I can't tell the difference between my OCD thought and my intuition, so I actually drive myself INSANE not being able to make rhe right choice, even with the small things like whar to eat. It makes me want to tear my hair out, it's so stressful for me. This is daily too, I don't know what to do to get rid of it anymore. I even tell myself sometimes when i ask to just do what I WANT to do, but my OCD fights me... Please help
