Hello , Have you heard about breathing exercises ? They are helpful for panic attacks . First , breathe in as slowly, deeply and gently as you can, through your nose Second , breathe out slowly, deeply and gently through your mouth some people find it helpful to count steadily from 1 to 5 on each in-breath and each out-breath Third , close your eyes and focus on your breathing Also , have you eaten , if you only woke up ? I read that it could be the reason of bad feeling too .

@ Liza Dogtieva Usually there's a trigger for my panic attacks but this one was so sudden, I didn't know how to react

hey there, i totally get that waking up on the wrong side of the bed feeling and how it can throw your whole day into a spiral, especially with OCD in the mix. i've got pure o myself, so while my obsessions might look a bit different, that overwhelming rush of thoughts? yeah, i know that all too well. just want you to know i'm here to listen, and you're not alone in this fight, okay? š¤ i wanna share something with you - my therapist pointed me towards this free AI tool called "unstuck" (here's the link: www.AIOCDtool.com). given what you're going through, it might be a solid support. it's like having an OCD therapist in your pocket, ready to help you work through the moments when your thoughts are running wild. you just type in what's bugging you, and it guides you through, step-by-step, kinda like ERP but with an AI twist. i'm not big on promoting apps either, but this isn't about that. this tool's been a game-changer for me, and i hope it can offer you some relief too. feel free to hit me up if you've got any questions or just need to chat. we're in this together. šŖ

Spiraling hard
I have a lot stress factors weighing in me, and I've already been in the midst of an OCD flare up so I'm struggling pretty hard right now. My brain is digging so deep to think of anything bad or gross I did when I was younger and I don't know how to handle it. I want to tell it all to my gf but I don't want her to look at me different over weird thoughts when I was younger, but my brain is telling me I'm hiding it and I'm a horrible person. I don't know what to do, I haven't spiraled like this in a long time and I can't get out of my own head going deeper into past thoughts and memories and actions I'm deeply ashamed of.

Could use some advice
Struggling today with my thoughts and maybe some dissociation. I canāt get any clear thoughts. I felt like lately Iāve started to recover and then the past few days have felt so hard. I feel scared for the future. I am scared I donāt have enough hope for living with ocd. I am scared that Iām not gonna be happy. Iām scared Iāll chose to end my life over this. Iām scared Iāll want to end my life. I feel weird. My thoughts are jumbled today. Something feels like itās going to happen and thatās what is giving me anxiety.
