  1. Thank you both for the advice. I will definitely try to remember that for tomorrow’s cbt session. I did my homework this week which was going and sitting on a bench and sit through the anxiety. Some days were better than others. I find getting tired makes me feel worse too. I like obsess I am going to go mad. It’s a horrible feeling.
  2. I don’t know why. Whilst talking to the lady I am fine and open about what I am thinking and feeling but I always seem to feel worse the next few days. I’m just so scared of losing control. My sister is a great support to me but it’s hard. I am wondering if it’s peri menopause making me worse but the doctor doesn’t think it is because of my age and because I’m not having the sweats. It’s just bizarre how I was mostly under control with it then I get this bad again. I keep wanting a reason for the flare up. I do wonder if the fact that I’ve become big on TikTok and can’t go out without getting stopped by people wanting photos or to say hello, which I don’t mind but I feel like people are almost watching me.
  3. Thanks for the reply. Yes a lot of my thoughts are “what ifs?” My sister suffers too. Usually I’m quite under control though have the odd blip now and again but this time it’s lasting a lot longer. Not sure what has triggered it. I wish I knew. I had a really hard time when the whole novachok poisoning happened. I obsessed about it happening to me. Even the other day I was convinced something was in a bottle of Fanta and panicked. I just want it to go. It’s so distressing feeling stressed all the time. At the moment I really feel like the CBT I’m having is making it worse. I’m going to stick with it though.
  4. Hi everyone, This is my first time visiting the forum. I’m really struggling right now. A bit of background….I am 42 and I started having ocd intrusive thoughts when I was around 18. I was put on Clomipramine back then and I’m still on them now. I managed to get down to 50mg but now I’m on 75mg a day. Though recently I have had a real blip. I don’t know what has triggered it but first I was obsessing about dying. Now I just have this horrible feeling inside which I think is adrenaline…and it overwhelms me and I’m so scared I am going to go mad or scream or something similar. Every time I go out it’s worse but even at home I get it too. I’m so worried I’m going to lose control. I know I shouldn’t be seeking reassurance but I just feel so scared. I have just started CBT through the NHS and every time I talk to the lovely lady I feel worse afterwards. Does anyone ever get these like urge/energy type feelings like you will lose control? thanks so much for reading Ellen
