Your heart speaks in a way that your mouth cannot. These thoughts shape how you feel and breathe, but remember you are not defined by your thoughts; you are the one listening to them. This means you still have a choice and are not powerless. Respond to your racing heart with kindness, you are allowed to control the storm within you. Even if it’s just for a brief moment, remember that racing thoughts often indicate your body is in survival mode, preparing you for the worst, worst scenarios that usually never happen. Negative thoughts are not the truth they are simply fear. Your body is filled with these thoughts that just need space to breathe.
My heart has just been racing non stop and I dont know why :( I get out if breath really easily doing nothing and my heart beats really fast all the time. It's scary
@Anonymous Could be anxiety or possibly underlying respiratory issues do you believe the racing heart is related to your mental health?
@mui I'm not anxious atm and I don't have respiratory issues :( my heart is just always beating fast and I get out of breath really easily even just talking . I also get super dizzy
@Anonymous My wish is for you to inform this app and me of what you discover
Experiencing thoughts that make you feel horrible and intensely personal can be very frightening and lead to significant guilt and physical symptoms like a racing heart. I totally understand how uncomfortable you might be feeling Remember, the fact that these thoughts that cause you distress is often a sign they clash with your true values. Help is here at NOCD and we can assist you in finding outside help if needed too. First let just normalize how common this experience is. We all have intrusive thoughts but it's important to separate them from ourselves and remember that our thoughts are just that, Thoughts! When we search for meaning and purpose behind these thoughts that's what drives our distress. Second, We have to have empathy and self compassion towards ourselves.

I'd get that examined by a professional like an urgent care maybe all insight I can give you are those 2 original ideas
Same like what person with Pocd has this, I feel alone and just avoid everything by sleeping
I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh
Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.
I feel like a really terrible person right now, I keep replaying this, and no matter what I can’t remember what happened, it’s like my brain is purposely not letting me think about it. Without wasting any more time, I’ll get into it. Basically, I was at Walmart, and looking at cards with My Dad, I saw anime ones, took pictures of them for my sister, even ones that were anime kids, because I did my best to ignore it, so I looked at a Hunter x Hunter card, I stared at the black haired kid, being all like “ I’m glad I’m not having any thoughts about this, I’m glad I’m having normal thoughts and not thinking anything” I felt happy, then as soon as I looked at killua (white haired kid), everything collapsed. I don’t know what happened, my brain won’t let me remember. But I’ll give bits and pieces. I think that I had false attraction, and something in my head, said “oh, I wouldn’t mind being attracted.” “He is attractive, and I’m attracted to him.” “I remember a girl thinking he is attractive and he is” “ It’s not wrong to be attracted” “ I don’t care about his age” .. something along the lines of that, and now I’m panicking super hard, because I’m worried if I said those things, I feel like I ruined my life that I’m a pe//do and deserve nothing, idk what to do, I feel terrible… I remember when I was having the intrusive thoughts, I was panicking and was worrying, but it kept playing out, and I kept hearing things talk, it was drawn out too long, that now I feel convinced that I was saying those things, I tested it too, and I can confirm that I didn’t say that, but why am I still not convinced? I know I wouldn’t say those things, I was hoping the complete opposite would happen. My brain kept making me feel like it wasn’t wrong and it was okay. Maybe that’s why I’m so convinced I did that. I’m just spiraling super bad right now, I don’t know what to do or what to think, I don’t know if I said that or not… even if I did test it, I genuinely just feel like I said it, and I wanted it, because I still feel uncertain, I still feel like I said it, part of me just wants to be like oh I did and so I can move on, not because I agree with it, I just don’t know what else to do… I’m really scared.
