I have written on this forum last week about having a massive panic attack last week while away in Germany. I have been feeling like crap ever since.
I also suffer from OCD (pure 'o') and it seems to have latched onto the anxiety feelings. I now find myself 'checking' how i feel and if i'm anxious it makes me feel more anxious. I know that i am stuck in the classic OCD thought loop but that doesn't help me, my anxiety just seems to get worse and worse, i'm now struggling to function due to the constant feeling in my chest and light head. I tried Propranolol last week after my panic attack and it made me feel strange, my question now is shall i go back on it for my OCD loop?
Do you think it will help or should i try and ride out the anxiety caused by the OCD loop? The problem is that the thinking about how i feel seems to start automatically and its hard not to spiral out of control and into a horrible place. I have done CBT before and i know that the OCD will pass but its hard to just let the feels be there when they make me feel so nasty and weak.
Please advice as i need help.
