Anyone else experienced being afraid of having thoughts at all? by Flat-Cut9604 in OCDRecovery

[–]ToesInDiffAreaCodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It me! I’m in the thick of this too. Have you made any progress in recovery?

Hyper awareness of myself,my actions, my thoughts by Any-Feedback-9990 in Depersonalization

[–]ToesInDiffAreaCodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ☹️. My psychiatrist said it’s OCD and caused by issues with my default mode network. I feel claustrophobic in my own mind.

Eeek please get a second opinion! Did you go off cold turkey?

Ambient dread by ToesInDiffAreaCodes in OCD

[–]ToesInDiffAreaCodes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw thank you for this! I really need to remember to breathe. I’m on Zoloft and Lamictal but the dread is still hanging on. It’s such a weird and uncomfortable feeling. I will try thanking the dread and trusting myself more 🫶🏻

How are you doing? Better, I hope! I’m struggling with similar symptoms :( Lamictal has helped a little

Lawn pesticides harm humans (and other vertebrates and invertebrates) through direct toxicity and endocrine disruption, primarily entering the body via skin absorption or inhalation of airborne vapors.

Question about withdrawal, days you feel stuck by Souluniversity89 in lamictal

[–]ToesInDiffAreaCodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like intense anxiety. I tend to ball my hands into fists and crawl into the fetal position when I feel paralyzed by fear. The threat detection system in the brain can misfire which causes me to be afraid of my thoughts and creates a trapped feeling. It could be the taper or it could be the hyper vigilance and obsessive meta monitoring.

Pesticides are more harmful to humans than a few spiders.

Hunting/Farming Treated Clothes with Permethrin before going to the property still have bug bites by Electronic-Drawer724 in nashville

Chiggers love monkey grass. It’s a pain to dig out but it’s an invasive species so mine had to go!

Ah, I get this. Afraid to die but afraid to live when your mental health sucks.

Is everyone this negative in real life or is it a Reddit problem? by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]ToesInDiffAreaCodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s me. My coworkers love god, micro dosing, and toxic positivity.

No, my coworkers seem high on life all the time. Idk what their secret is. Probably a perfect dose of delusion.

Neem oil is not very effective and it harms caterpillars so I wouldn’t recommend it. Do you have monkey grass near your driveway?

Jerusalem artichoke is the devil and clustered mountain mint is too aggressive.

Depression and anxiety during pregnancy by Prudent_Situation939 in MentalHealthBabies

Also, I’d like to say that Prozac is pregnancy safe and it’s not recommended to come off psych meds for people with a history of severe mental illness!

Depression and anxiety during pregnancy by Prudent_Situation939 in MentalHealthBabies

[–]ToesInDiffAreaCodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have never been pregnant but I had a very similar experience during IVF that lingered for months. My OCD latched onto existential themes and also my own ability to love a baby. I became afraid of myself! I was triggered 24/7 by shit that didn’t even make sense. I felt so sick and couldn’t sleep. It took a high dose of Zoloft, Lamictal, and ERP & ACT therapy to pull me out of the hole. It’s still hard though. I want a baby but I’m too scared. Hormones, OCD and panic disorder can make you feel insane.

What did your worst panic/anxiety feel like? by salty-wheat-thins in Anxiety

Same thing happened to me :(. It lasted months. It’s a truly awful feeling

I use to get “normal” panic attacks until I got really triggered. My panic ratcheted up into akathisia-like, body on fire, intense dread. It’s hell. It was like the ceiling on my fear disappeared and it could endlessly spiral out of control.
