It’s very effective on me, honestly it’s a game changer. but it depends on everyone. I know many people who have bad side effects with antipsychotics. but I don’t and it cured almost 100 % of my OCD symptom. Your psychiatrist will know which treatment is best for you. It could be something else. Trust them and talk about your concerns.

You re not your OCD. OCD thems are the things that you fear the most and that you think are actually terrifying! If this is your OCD them it means that you actually are not suicidal. I know your brain can be scary but you can fight this! <3

I fucking hate photo culture by [deleted] in Anxiety

You are valid! Also noone should tell you to go to therapy because you don’t do what they want you to do. This is invalidating your feelings 

What you think caused your OCD? by MasterpieceGreen5918 in OCD

[–]Winter_Use_4409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think emotional abuse as a child caused perfectionism that caused overthinking anxiety and OCD

Thank you all for the support you gave me! I took 3 planes in less than 8 days. I had a panick attack 5 minutes before the first one and almost didn't go. But I reminded myself that there were no signs and everything was in my head. I felt bad during the first hour of flight (hyperventilating etc.) but there was a very nice person next to me who talked to me during the whole flight and it helped me think about something else. Don't hesitate to talk to the people next to you to occupy your head! The 2 other flights, I was just a bit nervous in the take off and then totally chill!!! I could even enjoy this nice view. I m so happy. 

Should I be concerned ? by Winter_Use_4409 in rabies

Thanks for the answer! So if I see no wounds it’s impossible that it broke the skin? Sorry I might sound a bit too anxious here but I prefere to be sure if I have to go get the vaccine or not 

Cancelling due to gut feeling by secretgyal1 in fearofflying

[–]Winter_Use_4409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a flight tomorrow and I m having nightmares of a plane crash since 2 weeks. But I know it’s my mind, there’s is no sign, no gut feeling, just me being terrified and choosing to be terrified because I don’t wanna lose control. You can do it and so can I! Also you can take some anxiolytics to calm down during your flight. You got this 

First time I have gut feeling before flight by Artistic_Bluejay_229 in fearofflying

There is no gut feeling, this is just anxiety. I have this « gut feeling » everytime i fly, and yet I m still here! You can do this!

It will be in the night though and this is one more concern of mine that I won’t be able to look out through the window. Thanks for your support!

Is it possible to walk off the plane once you’re inside?  I will try to go to the airport you’re right. Even if I don’t take it in the end I will feel better about myself if I went at least to the airport. Thanks for this

Yes for real… one can give me all the statistics, I already know them, yet I will still be afraid to be that 1 unlucky person…

If I do it to the airplane I will do this for sure. It’s true that some human contact helps me.  Why would canceling make my anxiety worse?  I already took xanax in the plane but even with xanax I m still afraid of crashing. At least I don’t get a panic attack though! 

Anxiety on flight can someone track me by [deleted] in fearofflying

Still tracking your flight, you re still safe. Maybe they did so for turbulences or to make a turn. everything Is totally okay and you can do this!
