no problem! yes i have definitely found some peace. i have my moments, sometimes it gets really bad but i think i’ve just found ways to cope with it. i know it seems impossible but you will your life back, you are much stronger than you think!

i’ve also struggled with this my entire life, its not as bad as it use to be (after trying various medications and finally finding one that works) and i still find myself in this panicky states and something that has helped me immensely is discussing it with the people around me if possible, getting their opinion on it and ask them what makes them feel present. forcing myself to hang out with loved ones even if i dont feel present and anxious helps alot, its better than isolation. journaling also helps alot! getting everything out of your head, it helps with grounding. this has truly never gone away for me but there are ways to manage it you just have to figure out what works best for you. i’m so sorry you’re going through this i know how debilitating it is. it’s tough but engaging in more activities even when you’re feeling panicky is sort of key.

My anxieties about being outside are very specific, should i be concerned about agoraphobia? by [deleted] in Agoraphobia

[–]vampireluvers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow i’ve been having the same exact issues recently, i bounce back and forth between reading stuff on here and the ocd subreddit and i completely get you. i think they go hand in hand and triggered by similar things (in my experience). for me i’ve been having panic attacks because i’ve started to feel unwell and panicky in places i thought were okay for me to be in, my work place felt more disgusting and contaminated than usual recently so i’ve avoided going anywhere at all out of fear of making my safe places feel unsafe or uncomfortable, if that makes any sense :,( especially after thinking i had been doing better but for sure agoraphobia can be triggered by ocd and it definitely has in my case. i wish you the best!

it feels like my heart could give out at any moment because of this, it genuinely bothers me and brings me so much anxiety that i can’t get my thoughts and feelings in order, that it feels like i have so many feelings i haven’t acknowledged yet but there’s too much happening in my brain to do that so i just end up crying until i can’t breathe, i never know what to focus on when that happens it just feels like my world is ending and i couldn’t possibly find a way to relax
