Urgent advice please!
I’m lying awake right now and having a major OCD episode. I am tired, and only 14. I can’t calm down and feel a PA coming. Advise?
This too shall pass 🤍✨these feelings are only temporary.
Sometimes when my emotions are really strong during the build up to (and during) a panic attack, it can feel really good to just cry and let them out. I like this quote from a Joseph Goldstein meditation: “it’s ok to feel this way”; it’s ok to feel anxious, scared, whatever you’re feeling. Like Rabbit said, the feelings are only temporary. You’re going to get through this. I started to get OCD symptoms when I was about your age, and I can tell you from experience that things will get better, and you have so many amazing, beautiful moments ahead of you.
Try the SOS feature on the bottom right corner of this app. I’ll pray for you to rest
The thing that helped me pretty much get rid of my panic attacks was to just accept that they happened. I know this seems really backwards, but what you resist, persists. Just accept that it might happen, know that’s it’s happened before and that you got through the other side of it. Allow it to do what it does without fighting it. I know this is difficult believe me, and I’m so sorry you’re going through this at such a young age, but you’re in a great position to learn these skills now and overcome this at an early age xxx
Just wait for it to go away
Usually 5 hours until you've convinced yourself that the poison you think you invested would hsve killed you already so your safe now
hey there, i'm really sorry you're going through this right now. it sounds incredibly tough, especially at such a young age. hang in there, you're not alone in this. 💙 i've been in your shoes, and what really made a difference for me was this free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try) that my OCD therapist recommended. it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized step-by-step support when OCD feels overwhelming, just like having an OCD therapist by your side. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
I’m really anxious but I really need to sleep. How do you calm yourself down? I have been not doing great with my ocd at all lately my head feels like it’s going to explode.
Can anyone please confort me? I'm having a really bad panic attack, I can't stop crying and I feel like im losing my mind from the fear. I feel like maybe I should just go to the hospital because it feels so real
hi i hope everyone is well!! i’m a bit upset atm. so i have had pocd for a while now and one of my biggest fears is happening rn. my younger cousin has to sleep with me as her parents are away and she said she wants to stay with me as she feels less homesick with me which is so adorable and it shows she feels safe with me. but im so scared of false memory ocd playing up and the what ifs. like i’m petrified to go into my room rn nc the thoughts are “everyone is asleep what if you do something” “what if you do something and don’t remember” or “what if you do something when you’re half asleep or asleep”. it’s almost 2am here and ive locked myself in the bathroom. im actually really nervous. she hasn’t slept in the same room as me since 2022. 😭😔 like my body feels like it needs to be tensed up and that i cannot relax. any advice will be appreciated
