How can I help
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 .
I haven't eaten yet and I'm trying some breathing right now, I'm just starting to come out of it I think
@Mindpocket It is very good . Keep going .
@ 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? 🤝 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. 💪
i keep getting weird thoughts and like if i think about something i start to think about it more and make my self believe i am this how do i stop this? ugh
I am freaking out with panic. It feels like I want to or have to hurt my boyfriend and it’s causing me to have the worst panic attack I’ve had in a while. It feels like I should be in a mental institution and all I want to do is cry. I know at a time like this I need to lean into the anxiety but I’m absolutely terrified. Please. Anyone. Words of wisdom or encouragement. It feels so different than normal and of course I’m so worried this is not OCD. how could it be? It’s so convincing and scary.
I think I have somatic ocd I'm not sure but it's 1:27 and I can't go to a doctor or make an appointment. I'm getting scared of choking. I forgot a week ago how to swallow and lost the instinct. I barely eat in the day, but I try to eat normal food as an exposure. I know I won't choke but my body doesn't. I had a panick attack after eating like 7 spoons of rice and meat. It was all good until I started feeling again my throat very thick and like if there's a grain of rice. It really annoys me and my breathing is accelerated, I started feeling derealization. I need someone to calm me down. I won't go to work tomorrow, I'm so sleepy but feel like I won't breathe because of my panick attack. I'm alone right now
