Ok, I understand how this board works, thanks y'all. I was wondering how this works. I will make sure to post there for sure....
I was hoping that my anxiety/panic was possibly just due to my dentist appt that I had last Thurs., and yesterday. Well, it isn't gone. It's almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. My S/O currently...
CeCe, I moved your thread into the OCD thread that is already on the boards. You will find it there. Thank you Kitt ...
I can only tell you, that from my experience (I quit school partly because of my high anxiety), it has only CONTRIBUTED to my anxiety. My anxiety won over me, I fed into it by giving in, and now it...
The key to making a panic attack manageable, is to realize that it does not hurt you, it will go away, and you will get through it. When symptoms of a panic attack first start, immediately begin...
You sound much like me in that, I seem to search for reassurance and validation for nearly every aspect of my life. I question mostly everything. I do not have enough confidence in myself, therefore...
I have some serious health anxiety. It's absolutely out-of-control, most of the time. And it appears to be if nothing else, a catalyst for my anxiety in general. I am sure there is a deeper source...
Thanks everyone so much. I am sorry for being a leech and pouring all of my problems/issues on you everyone. I just started posting here a few days ago; lol though you wouldn't know it otherwise....
I HATE THIS. I am so mad. Mad at myself for PANICKING OVER NOTHING. I had to go to the dentist today (I just went on Thurs. of last week, but he noticed that I had a small cavity in my wisdom tooth,...
Thanks everyone for all of the support and advice and insight. Unfortunately, I supposedly 'owe' grant/scholarship money (I never knew you could 'owe' free money, but whatever). I was told I quit...
Ah, I forgot one (a very prominent one, at that). I am VERY fearful of being alone. I feel/am scared that I am going to die and no one will be there to save me....
I think mine would probably be obsessive thinking as well. I over-analyze everything. I need to know the 'who, what, where, why and how' of EVERYthing. And even if I do know those things, I still am...
Here are mine (in no specific order): Fear of dying Fear of flying (not of heights, however) Fear of vomiting Fear of being put on a ventilator (I know, it's crazy and insane) Fear of going to Hell...
Ugh. I swear, I was doing SO well before. I finally got over my obsession with my face...I wasn't constantly worrying that I was about to stroke out...and for once in YEARS, I wasn't pre-occupied...
I just thought of another one: If I don't wash my hands every time before exiting the bathroom (for whatever reason, i.e. cleaning the baby's bottle, or bathing the kids, etc.) even though through...
Twisted, I have the same facial numbness! I, too, was CONVINCED I was stroking out. I have had it now, on and off, since July. It initially lasted almost 3 weeks, then it went away finally, but came...
Hi, I'm new here, but I thought I'd go ahead and post my symptoms. Anything and everything has the potential to be 'jinxed.' I don't have any germ phobias, but OCD still affects me quite severely. If...
I am literally near tears from the RELIEF caused by reading this thread and other's experiences. I am sorry to hear of other's struggles, but can I just say that I AM SO GLAD I AM NOT ALONE?! I have...
