Yes seems like moving works best for me
Thats fight or flight for you. i hate it. It know it sounds so cliche but I use the "box breathing" when I am in that and it actually works. it resets your vegal nerve and induces your body to stop sending fight or flight messages. here is a link on how to do it. I do it for like 10 minuets straight or until I start to feel my body responding positively. Also,, a REALLY HARD cry does wonders for me. it released endorphins and does something that just sends me into a sedated state . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJazKtH_9I I hold for 10 seconds , 4 didn't feel like long enough for me. adjust it to how you feel.
Yes I have been in this same place. I’ve been able to make my body do things like hallucinations and extreme shaking just by telling myself it can happen. I tend to light some incense and play some meditation music while thinking of things that make me happy. Also coloring books and word searches have helped to keep me occupied. Medication could help as well; I’m currently taking Prozac which is an antidepressant and it gives me a better mindset throughout the day thus making me more productive and happy. Just be patient, give it time and try to look into positive lifestyle choices. I’ve noticed that simply getting up and eating a healthy meal while sitting outside listening to the birds has helped me get a positive mindset for the day and it relaxes me while also giving me time to plan my day. I apologize for the long comment but I’ve struggled and am still struggling with the same thing so you’re not alone and definitely aren’t crazy. Stay positive!!!🖤🦍
Yes especially throwing up
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 having awful stomach pain and nausea and it's really worrying me and scaring me
some days I wake up with so much dread and guilt. It makes it so hard to keep going. I open my eyes and I’m hit with a wave of nausea and terror. I feel ashamed of my compulsions and my OCD. I feel like a monster for my checking compulsions. For momentarily sexualizing things that shouldn’t be sexualized out of anxiety. I’m ashamed of a lot that I give into because of anxiety. Confessing things that are meaningless to my boyfriend. I feel so awful and unworthy of existing and of love. I feel hopeless I don’t want to keep pushing, the more I push the more meta my OCD becomes and the more guilt I feel for this mental illness. The more confusing it becomes to do ERP. If compulsions are a choice, they feel like life or death and it’s driving me insane, I beat myself up so badly over them I’m scared of compulsions, I’m scared of thoughts, I’m scared to be awake, I’m even scared of sleeping because my intrusions and compulsions haunt me there too. I spend my dreams trying to explain or justify my OCD and compulsions to people. I’m exhausted, I want this to stop so badly. My severe OCD isn’t feeling any less severe and it’s been months. I don’t want to keep questioning my every move but I’m so hyperaware of everything I do. I’m so tired. Some days I don’t even have tears to cry with. I’m just so full of despair and shame
