what is a physical reaction to anxiety not within my control (is shortness of breath one of them?) so i can monitor my ocd anxiety accurately?

Accepted Answer

Go make memories: Hi Emanuel, I would urge you to focus less, not more, on the physical sensations you&#x27;re experiencing.

Try to get on with your day and try to accept whatever sensations you experience without overly analyzing them.Take good care.
