I hate this

Hi guys. Sorry to hear you're doing it tough Jamie. I do things like that in the shower too. I shave everyday in the shower and it's a routine and I'm used to it. But every now and then I get a freaky paranoia about cutting myself and/or wanting to cut myself. Even though I know I actually don't want to cut myself, if that makes sense. Yeh I think it all goes with the panic and/or OCD Steve. That knife obsession is very common. I hear people talk about that a lot. I scared myself a bit the other day becaues I smashed a cup on purpose. I don't normaly lose my cool like that. Afterwoods I analysed it and felt much better about it. Knowing the reason I was fed up had a lot to do with fatigue. Vervaina is spot on! :) We're not going crazy, we're just having a reaction to a situation.

I have the urge sometimes when I see knives. I thought it was just me. Funny I haven't seen anybody post anything about cutting on here. Is that a normal thing also that goes along with this?

Thank you for the support; it feels good just being told I am not crazy, lol. I know I'm not but it's hard to believe it during an attack.

You are going to be okay. It sucks right now and you have every reason in the world to hate it. I totally sympathize with you. I also have strange thoughts that penetrate my brain! Sometimes, though I know it seems like a long shot, I comfort myself by the thought that one day I will wake up and feel good. I guess my point is, you are not alone. And you are a perfectly normal person in a very unfortunate situation. It will get better. :)

I have panic disorder with agoraphobia and Obsessive compulsive disorder. So I get obsessive thoughts that trigger panic attacks and make them really bad, I mean I get normal panic attacks for no reason as well. But like I€™m taking a shower and I get the urge to cut my eyes when I€™m shaving so I have to throw the razor out of the shower and by this time I€™m into a really bad panic attack so I€™m dizzy and my heart is racing and I feel like I€™m going crazy. I really hate this.
