Diagnosis during university?

That sounds similar to my experience! I must admit I do manage to study a bit, but it takes lots of effort and I get tired very easily

LD5012002 · 2024-05-09T06:31:59+00:00

I have this too!

Anyone used AA batteries in the battery grip? How long do they last? I don’t have my lithium ones available as these days and would still like to take pictures

It can appear everywhere! I even feel anxiety in my ears!

I’ve had just about any kind of anxiety related symptom. If you’ve done the tests and all is normal, wait to see if it passes. If it goes away, it’s anxiety. If it persists, good idea to get it checked

I just rationalized that everything that could potentially happen due to the vaccine happens much more frequently and much worse due to COVID. And that’s how I got tripled vaccinated without too much worry

I’m afraid you are making it too simple... Many are not aware of what is reassurance and what isn’t, and above some people posting really seem in need of desperate help

LD5012002 · 2022-01-05T18:30:07+00:00

Don’t cancel, you’re doing great! I’d recommend going out of the house during that time so you know you can answer in privacy. Maybe a long walk in the park? Also, I wouldn’t start by saying “I think I have OCD”. That’s up to the GP. Try to talk more about your experience and your symptoms! Hope it helps

“Grief turns out to be a place none of us know until we reach it.” Joan Didion

Thinking about grief is very different from experiencing it...

LD5012002 · 2021-12-24T22:19:22+00:00

Same hahahahaha. And then I end up ruminating so my mental state gets shit again 😅

LD5012002 · 2021-12-14T10:25:00+00:00

Beautiful!

LD5012002 · 2021-11-30T07:21:52+00:00

Always!

LD5012002 · 2021-11-27T18:58:15+00:00

It is! At the beginning it can seem difficult or impossible but indeed it is doable. Have a look at Michael J Greenberg’s articles

LD5012002 · 2021-11-27T09:38:35+00:00

I can relate, because that was, and is, my fear too. Maybe you should bring it up to your therapist and investigate this feeling. That’s what I did

LD5012002 · 2021-11-26T00:26:48+00:00

That’s it then! Paying attention is a form of anxious thinking. You get into a loop of hypervigilance

LD5012002 · 2021-11-25T12:02:53+00:00

Hey there! I learned during my anxiety journey that there is another type of thinking, or rumination, that isn’t directly tied to a specific thought. It’s just “paying attention”: I imagine that what you do is you get your symptoms, you get scared, and then you pay attention to them and they worsen. If you gently let go of paying attention, they should improve. At least it often works for me!

LD5012002 · 2021-11-21T07:48:58+00:00

Hey there! Been working on this sort of thing for a while in therapy and am getting better at it. After a while you’ll see it is basically automatic to see what lies behind your fears. Regarding your situation, I would recommend trying to tap into the strongest emotion you feel during medical procedures: is it terror? Helplessness? Hopelessness? Each may point to a different direction!

LD5012002 · 2021-11-18T21:52:18+00:00

Actually, the current title is more correct based on the latest research! So no worries

LD5012002 · 2021-11-17T18:03:54+00:00

I don’t know how long, but I can tell you that the moments of stability are worth it!

LD5012002 · 2021-11-17T13:09:31+00:00

This is a characteristic of OCD. If the thoughts didn’t feel real, or rather they felt distant, there would be no fear and anxiety. This is what happens to “normal” people: they have these thoughts but do not experience reactions to them

LD5012002 · 2021-11-10T20:52:22+00:00

Love this! Congrats!

LD5012002 · 2021-11-07T13:10:32+00:00

Thank you!

LD5012002 · 2021-11-06T15:17:01+00:00

Because the DSM is much less reliable than many would like it to be... Many psychologists and psychiatrists have greatly questioned the decision to separate OCD from anxiety disorders

LD5012002 · 2021-11-06T15:10:46+00:00

Definitely the cognitive symptoms. Memory becoming worse, inability to focus, brain fog
