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.
Does anyone else struggle with OCD when it comes to breathing? I've had this for about two years now on and off and finally had enough and came on here to say this. When I try to explain this to other people, therapists, etc. they just don't get it, so maybe someone on here does. I literally cannot stop thinking about my breathing and when it is at its worst, the very act of breathing feels incredibly uncomfortable. It feels like the walls are closing in on me, I constantly feel like I'm having to catch my breath, and I constantly feel the urge to take a giant, "complete" breath and that is the only way I feel comfortable. It's usually manageable during the day, but at night when I try to go to sleep it's awful because when my brain has nothing else to focus on it reverts to the breathing. People tell me to just stop thinking about it but I literally cannot. Can anyone else relate or am I all alone on this one
I'm having awful stomach pain and nausea and it's really worrying me and scaring me
