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?

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

I don’t know what’s wrong
I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy

Religious OCD
Hey all. I need help. I am sitting on my bathroom floor freaking out and convinced that all my work towards getting better has gone out the window. I am so scared of the “bad guy” getting me all the time. I constantly feel like I have to prove to God that I don’t mean these awful feelings and thoughts that I have about the bad guy. I’ve had trouble sleeping tonight, going in and out of consciousness, all while dealing with bad thoughts going in and out of my head. Finally I woke up and am flooded with “you have so many thoughts and feeling that you let slide while you were trying to sleep. You had thoughts that you accepted the bad guy and you didn’t dispute them before you tried to move on. You have so much to answer for.” So now I’m sitting here in my bathroom floor hysterically crying and begging God to believe me when I say I don’t any of these thoughts or feelings… please someone help
