Does anybody else get PTSD style flashbacks from embarrassing/cringe moments from their past? I feel like the number of episodes is correlated to my anxiety levels?
Had a flashback to elementary school when I told on someone for having their elbows on the table. God Im so insufferable

Oh dude constantly, I’m pretty sure it’s not totally unrelated to ocd intrusive thoughts bc my diagnosis with that is “anxiety with ocd tendencies” so?

I have to distract myself or start like tapping something to ground myself 💔

Yeah, I’ve definitely started shouting at myself (when I’m alone) to try and ground myself in the moment, but it’s not fun regardless.
