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
I am 16 and struggling with OCD. It is causing me to do irrational things that I wouldn't normally do and cause issues with my parents. I feel like a terrible person and want to take back things that have happen and don't know how to make it better. The OCD causes things to get stuck in my brain and my questions have to be answered and talked about. I don't know how to let thoughts go and ways that would be healthy for myself and my parent when this happens. Any advice?
I’m so tired of having ocd I’m tired
So my OCD got that bad to the point where I’m barely having ocd and my body is stuck in stress, I can’t sleep, my mind is soo loud and my chest hurts and my vains are popping out and I feel like my body is shutting down what do I do ☹️ I don’t even feel like I am here I can’t focus on anything I’m always zoned out
