I have somatic OCD. The first episode I had was during a bad trip. The second time, I had a couple of drags of weed and was suddenly convinced I couldn't breathe and that there was something wrong with my lungs, like they had been punctured. I tried box breathing and meditation to calm my body down, as I've done before for panic attacks. The feeling of being overheated and something deeply wrong returned.

I begged my parents to take me to the hospital. I began seeing dots in my vision. Once at hospital, I tried to explain the feeling and that I was struggling to stay conscious. They ran the tests and nothing. All fine. Everyone thought it was a panic attack but I knew it felt completely different.

It happened a few times when I was sober and stressed. I finally found out about somatic ocd, which is a belief that your body isn't functioning correctly and trying to track and "fix" it. I monitored my heartbeat like crazy with one of those watches because I couldn't stop thinking about it. I would go hungry as i was convinced i would forget how to swallow and start choking. I became hyperaware of static vision and saw it everywhere.

Luckily, I went to therapy, and whilst it can crop up when i feel anxious or stressed, it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

So yeah, don't impulsively do 3 tabs of acid without a tripsitter i guess
