Hi everyone
Do any of you battle OCD as well as Panic Disorder.. they often go hand in hand or you share signs of both.
I know that my "thoughts" are what often send me into panic and are thoughts I can't "control".. sometimes they are random scary thoughts.. things I know I would never do but the thought just keeps coming back..
An example would be harming someone I loved... I am the most gentle souled person and don't have a violent bone in my body so why would I think such a thing?? Then I start to panic about having the thought...
The thought can also be about illness..and it will even be the first thought when I wake up... ugh!! Like my schizophrenia stage.. or that I'm going to have early onset alzheimers... Lol.. I know it's ridiculous but it doesn't change the cycle..
If I read something (like some of the other posts)it can start a new cycle... a news story.. someone elses fears that I never thought of before.. LOL..
I only experience this when I'm out of whack (hormones, having babies, trying to wean my meds).. as my meds seem to keep the thoughts at bay... When I first started on this journey they were really bad..
I was just wondering if anyone else feels like this or has shared this type of experience...
Thanks for reading.. :)
