I wake sometimes wake up with my heart pounding so I do deep breathing or I place the abc came where you go through every letter and try to name a candy that begins with that letter. Or you can use any topic you want

I don’t want I be rude but for me deep breathing sucks I do do deep breathing and it does help but takeing something to not even have the panick attacks I’m the first replace would be so comforting I no xanex and anxiety meds like it are very helpful but finding someone to prescribe it to you is impossible it seems like I just get to the point like can I just fucking relax witout haveing to work so hard to just do a normal task like just going to school and then the off feeling you have all day are cause your trying so hard to be normal and your only half present cause your internally panicking that’s the way I feel and now I’m 29 and have worsened issues I realized wat a relief xanex would’ve been.

I know what you mean try fluvoxamine that's what I'm on . Xanax didn't do anything for me. Medicine doesn't relieve all the anxiety that's why I need tips on deep breathing etc. you got this! We'll get through this . I know it's scary and it sucks

I’ve been on Luvox abilify Prozac Zoloft Paxil cymbalta remeron trazadone busperone gapipentin seroquel and alot more it’s been 15 years I struggled in school had to go to an alternative school that didn’t help I’ve been to inpatient hospitals I’ve never been able to work and I’m on ssi now I have done everything these doctor prescribe antidepressants for ocd like it’s a cure all when they themselves don’t understand ocd like antidepressants do relieve ocd symptoms and help your brain not do ocd stuff and can help some wit anxiety but ocd is much more than just ocd it’s anxiety it’s anxiety attacks and panick attacks it’s agoraphobia it’s raceing thoughts extreme fear and worry and stress and uncertainty it’s guilt and shame like it’s so much stuff 1 pill isn’t gonna help especially if it’s a regular doctor prescribeing it the doctors get paid either way so you being sick means you’ll stay wit them longer mt life is ruined cause I trusted these doctors now I no ocd required it’s own help it’s required it’s own therpay it’s different than other mental health issues I’ve been doing the normal mental health help for 15 years wit no change cause wat I’ve been doing isn’t working and it doesn’t work for ocd ppl it should be illegal to underprescribe medications to be told a patients suffering and still chosdeing to only give an antidepressant it mite be these doctors first time seeing me but I’ve seen millions of doctors they play Guinea pig wit me the they offer tlk therpay which isn’t for ppl wit ocd that rite there should be illegal offering and ocd sufferer tlk therpay I’m so done wit the mental health care for ocd ppl need to be taught bout ocd.

I deal with this everyday scared to go places because of it and having to take anxiety medicine before I go somewhere....some days are better then others and thought I was getting better over the past few months and now it's hit me again having panic attacks before work because I'm scared I'm going to faint or having them at home because I'm scared if I faint I won't wake up on my own and I live by myself. Don't really know what to do about this they say to challenge my thoughts and fears and I do and sometimes it helps so.eti.es it doesn't really wondering if I need OCD medicine for this? What to do or try without medicine?

Does anyone have any experience with this? I wake up early with severe, severe anxiety and nothing seems to help. I try embracing the anxiety, breathing, and exercising. But these things only seem to help a little. Fortunately, I do think the length of the attacks are getting shorter (mainly because I'm still trying my best to live normally in spite of them), but they are still lasting a good 5-6 hours. They are quite debilitating. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with these? I've read much about potential solutions (being okay with the anxiety), but I was looking for some personal antecdotes. Thank you

i am a freshman in college and i have always struggled with depression, anxiety, and OCD. i have never received help for my OCD despite being medicated for my other two issues. i have noticed that what most of my panic stems from is my OCD and more specifically my OCD around school. i haven’t been able to get myself up for class for multiple days and im starting to panic about everything im missing and think about every little thing i have to fix. i am so behind that it makes me want to panic and i feel like i cant fix this. i just want my mind to feel normal but it feels like my whole world is falling apart all because i am feeling stuck in school. please help me i just want to feel okay but i dont know how to. i have tried doing all the assignments i can do to catch up but it isn’t enough i still feel so panicked
