OCD Ocd , anxiety , depersonalisation

[Alz]

I always had anxiety since college and minor ocd but since my trauma six months ago ( lost my baby through still birth) and even during the pregnancy my anxiety and ocd were pretty bad . Except now the ocd and anxiety are too too much - fear of being alone , fear of seeing thInge , fear of the word suicide and if I might do it and obviously feeling unreal - like iv gone mad .. I'll also have strange thoughts -like if I go to a shop I'll imagine the boxes / cartons will start falling :( it's too mcuh .. And the thoughts seem so real

I too have intrusive thoughts about disastrous things that could happen that are extremely unlikely, but at the time they seem real. From the investigating I've done (I've posted about this - can't think off the top of my head what the thread was called though) this is not a common PTSD symptom. My sense of this is it comes from a general feeling of the world being an unsafe and unpredictable place. It's gotten somewhat better as I process my traumas, but I find it gets worse again the more stressful my life is in general.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your baby. :cry:

sun seeker that is a very interesting investigation.. about the world being uncertain and unpredictable.. if your thread is helpful (the one you can't remember) is there any way i can find it?
