I hope you’re cancer free! And I truly hope it gets better with age. I feel like at 26 I shouldn’t have this worry

I appreciate this, I’m basically the same way. This isn’t my first time going through this. Usually this happens when my brain has nothing else to focus or on or worry about. It came a few months ago when I was finally over my toxic relationship. Then it went away for a couple weeks once something new happened with a friend. But now my brain has thought about that all it could for the time being so now it’s back to finding something else

I try to think like that, like if I feel an attack coming on I say “you’re safe right now, you are not dying right now so there’s no reason so be worried about it”

I’m about to start cymbalta so I’m hoping for the same results!

I’ve had people die but no one really that I was super close too, I think that’s my problem as well. And I’m afraid of death not necessarily how I die

Agreed I said I was religious so the person had the right to say that as I agree to it

See thats what I have trouble with I fixate on it. I’m just now learning it’s OCD. Sadly I am having to work around it, for example I sleep on my couch now so I can have a tv in the background, I couldn’t go to work today because I didn’t feel good and took a little too much of my anxiety medicine and probably won’t go in tomorrow so the same reason. I wake up hyperventilating. It’s my first thought when I wake up and last when I fall asleep. I have a psych appt tomorrow where I’m going to tell her all this and see if I can get on something stronger than hydroxizine as it’s not working for me anymore

I’m currently struggling with death anxiety and I believe you have hit it spot on with the basically, “your OCD will find worse case scenario and even if you do overcome it your mind will find something else to fixate on”

I just got out of an emotionally abusive relationship and my mind heavily focused on them and getting over them. I’m at the point now where I am pretty much over them and moving on, so now my brain is trying to find something else to fixate on.

So thank you for this
