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!!!🖤🦍

Not feeling like myself
Lately I just feel like I’m on the verge of losing it and I don’t know why. I feel so uncomfortable in my own body. Physically and mentally. Not due to insecurity but just that something isn’t right… I never feel good, I’m always fatigued, my head hurts all the time, but my blood work comes back fine so doctor’s will do nothing. I have anxiety and panic attacks and recently I guess depression since I’m always down. I have relationship OCD so my partner deals with me not being sure of him constantly and it breaks my heart. I don’t want to leave him because he’s great but half the time my brain is telling me he isn’t the one. I keep counting as well, constantly counting every letter in every word and every word in every sentence… it just feels like I’m gonna go insane one of these days and I’m scared. When I talk to someone about this, they have no clue what to tell me or how to help. Am I alone in feeling this way??

Emetophobia
So I’m severely emetophobic but these past few weeks have gotten SO bad. I had a bad reaction to an SSRI that made me feel like I was gonna throwup, I stopped taking them over two weeks ago but ever since then the fear has got even worse. I haven’t left the house properly in weeks because I’ve convinced myself I’ll be sick. I feel nauseous even indoors a lot of the time (there are hours when I don’t, like for example this afternoon I was fine). But I challenged myself to go for a short walk this evening and omg it was so hard I really thought I might throwup. The thing is I KNOW it’s anxiety and not real nausea because it feels completely different to when I was actually nauseous from the medication. This feeling is more like a tight throat/sensation of a lump in my throat that makes me feel like I’m gonna gag. I also have RCPD (I can’t burp basically lol) so I just feel like I have trapped air in my throat that’s gonna make me puke. The phobia has gotten really really bad. I have started therapy recently but I’ve been scared of throwing up since I was a kid and I’m now 31 lol wtf. I remember last Christmas my mum said someone at her work had been sick and I was so scared my mum had caught it and would pass it on to me that I refused to leave my bedroom without wearing gloves and a mask and wiping everything with anti-germ wipes. But right now it’s so so bad because I have literally gotten to the point where I’ve convinced myself I feel nauseous pretty much 24/7 and I am taking anti-nausea meds almost every day. Has anyone else dealt with/has tips for this??? I’m literally desperate 😭

I hate this
Why when I see triggering sexual images do I get hyperawareness to my saliva? It kept me awake pretty much all night last night with me constantly monitoring my saliva production and while I was getting intrusive thoughts I was constantly noticing everytime I involuntarily swallowed and I’ve woke up feeling so depressed thinking it means something I’m so tired😔
