• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I do not twitch or jerk, but I suffered from OCD and severe anxiety for more than 20 years. It can have a lot of different physical symptoms and in several extreme instances, I was pretty close to comatose and unable to function. Not sure if I twitched or jerked then, but reflecting on it, it was not good :( I hope you can find some peace in the bible, there are a lot of comforting scriptures dealing with anxiety that help me when I feel weird. Lately I think hormones are playing a factor, so I'm trying to gently sort that one out with myself lol...

I have alot of what if thoughts and intrusive thoughts...

Also when I'm extremely anxious, I start to twitch and jerk...does anyone else go through the twitching?

It might be a tic. I've read that some people with OCD sometimes suffer with tics as well.
