Panic attack?
My recent intrusive thoughts have been triggering bad panic attacks. Do you guys also get panic attacks or anxiety from your intrusive thoughts? 😣

Yes so many! The intrusive thoughts completely override my mind and I rather start to cry or panic. Usually panic attacks happen for me when we are doing enjoyable activities. I questioned medication too, but from other sources, medications seem to be less beneficial for ocd. I’m not sure tho either, but the panic attacks come on so suddenly that they are so hard to stop.

@Lilly2442! It’s awful! I almost don’t know what’s worse, the panic attacks or the intrusive thoughts themselves 😣

Yes. I had to check into a mental hospital because of them. I am on anxiety medication (Buspar and Zoloft) which is helping.

@Anonymous I think I’m going to invest in medication 😣 the panic attacks are sometimes worse than the thoughts

Just got one last night it’s terrible. Mine was from something I saw that triggered my anxiety. Do you feel like you have to recover from the panic attack the next day or days after? I feel like shit today

ocd or phycosis?
idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have

Advice?
Ive been struggling with the fear that if i am suicidal or something and ive been having like fears or intrusive thoughts of jumping off or losing control and acting on these thoughts and i dont know if this is just some very bad case of anxiety? Im always thinking about it trying to prove it wrong in my head and its gotten to a point where its effecting my sleep, i use chat gpt. I know deep down i dont wanna do any of it, i mean the very thought makes me panic quick so idk i just want to forget all these thoughts and i was wondering if anyone goes through this as well?
