about 4 months ago i was suffering from daily panic attacks and my ocd was flaring worse than it ever has, before that i was taking xanax-xr as needed, now i'm on lexapro (been on it for 4 months)
when i feel nervous i still get scared by irrational thoughts that i might lose control or go crazy or have a seizure (that one is from xanax withdrawal), i keep telling myself rationally that none of these things are going to happen but i still get scared and obsessive about it, now when i feel weird sensations in my legs i get scared that i can't walk anymore, anybody going through or have gone through this?
what can i do?
just keep plugging away at exposure and keep talking to myself rationally?
i'm starting to get frustrated and tired of feeling scared and despondent
thanks
