Is there anything you guys do nonstop when anxious

I realized i wash my hands a lot like i know its clean but i keep washing it every minute

Hello, I have met a couple of people in my life with this problem, it can be treated, it needs to be treated or you will wash your hands raw. I would go immediately and talk to your Dr. there is some medication that can help you with this. Do not suffer needlessly, you could also go online and look for answers, google is good with information. I wish you well, glad you came to talk to us, we will help you all we can. I send you love and hope. Sprinkle 1.xx

I don't really move when im anxious my mind go on overdrive and keep me paralyzed in a corner

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I move A LOT

[Sprinkle1 in reply to Hidden]

So glad you wrote, I get paralyzed a lot, I waste most of my day, either in bed or on my lounger curled up with one of my cats. I hate it, I want myself back.

I see a psychiatrist, who tell me I was poisoned earlier this year by an incompetent professional who dosed me up on one med after another, we have to get them out of my brain, and it will probably take months. I get so bad I wish I could die. I am sorry you suffer in this way, please keep writing to us, we are here for each other, we love and care and will help if we can. I send you love and strength.

Some of them don't really care about the patients they just give you the drugs and send you on your way, i was even worse last year, im not where i want to be but i will get there so will you

[Sprinkle1 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for your encouraging mail, I know we will get there, but it seems like such a long time, the psych. Dr. I am seeing said a year or longer, I think I will go stark raving mad by then. I saw him yesterday and he changed one of my antidepressants, and another one last week, so I am waiting for them to build up in my system. I am only on 3 med's, one for anxiety and brain clearing and calming, and two anti dep. Keep writing to us, I want to know how you are progressing. I send you strength, energy and love.

OCD's can be annoying if you let it...I think it's part of our being worry warts...anyway...you do need to get some professional help with it …nip it in the bud....I think we all have it to some degree or another.

Will do i thought i was only doing it cause i was anxious, i wash my hands about 20 times a day and use hands sanitizer just as often. I know my hands are clean when i look at them but i know they're dirty

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I was having similar thoughts back when I first came off benzos....it got better and am still getting better but don't take my words as gospel..just my experience....your worry meter is definitely on over-drive...and talking to a professional will definitely help.

In hind-sight I can see how my worrying was extreme and distorted because of the condition my mind was in at the time...but at the time I couldn't see the forest for the trees.

I ruminate/obsess also known as Pure O. Then I get very upset, want to cry

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I relate, i usually get obsessed over a specific thing.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Me too. And I fight with myself over my thoughts, it’s pretty bad

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Don't forget the tears that are impossible to stop

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh ya, plenty of those
