I’m deteriorating so fast. I’m getting panic attacks everyday, floating anxiety, bad depression. Not sleeping well, have to work 16 hrs a day and lonely, therapy isn’t helping. I really need help

I just moved to a new city so I am in a single apartment all by myself. My feelings have sapped any goals I have for myself. My parents aren’t supportive of me going through this at all. They just tell me to get tough. I don’t know where to turn to and feel like my world is crumbling down

I’m in the same boat. Try meds.

How long have you been in therapy? Are you seeing an OCD specialist or is it regular talk therapy? Are you doing ERP? I’m sorry you’re under so much stress right now! Panic attacks suck and can be very disruptive to everyday life. Is there any way you can work less hours for awhile? How’s your diet? Are you working out? How’s your sleep hygiene? There’s lots of little things that individually might seem silly but can add up to help a lot.

I just started the job. My diet is good but I’m not having a great appetite. I don’t sleep well. With the hrs I prob will have to stop therapy bc I literally have no time. And hopefully I can workout when I can. I’m always good about that

Keep going to therapy! Even if you can only make it work every few weeks or once a month. I think you should incorporate mindfulness and progressive muscle relaxation into your every day routine. I also think a bed time routine where you drink some warm decaf tea, stay off of your phone, and relax for awhile before bed would help. Not sure what your breaks look like at work, but walking outside or meditating could be useful. As well as that progressive muscle relaxation again. Mindfulness throughout the day is key. I hope you can take time on the weekends to do things you enjoy, unwind, spend time with friends and family, and do any therapy homework you get. Im so sorry you’re schedule is this terrible right now. It will make life harder! But piece my piece is can be managed. And once you’re in a routine, staying occupied all day may be a great distraction from anxiety.

Piece by piece*

I need an intensive program but right now I can’t afford it with time or $

Is there a support group near you? It might be helpful to talk to people suffering from the same thing. I’m sorry you’re so alone right now. And I’m sorry your parents aren’t supportive. I hope you know that so many people on hear experience and feel the same things. And it’s really hard. It sounds like your world just changed a lot. New city, new apartment, new job. Give it some time. Meet new people. Work st yourself. Changes like this take awhile to settle in and start working. In the mean time, cut yourself some slack. You’re actually doing a great job. You have a job and an apartment and you’re doing what you can with the little free time you have.

money is my motivation and i have fun doing my job

I understand they take awhile but I have been suffering for 3 years now. I do not see a light at the end. I see myself suffering even worse. I’m in training phase of my job so I’m not even making really any $. Do you know of any wellness group out there or some type of program?

Not sure what you mean by wellness group. But maybe these resources could help: https://iocdf.org/ocd-finding-help/supportgroups/online-and-phone-ocd-support-groups/
