Try the 54321 technique. Notice 5 things you see around you, 4 sounds, 3 things you touch, 2 things you smell and 1 thing you taste. It will pass. You are strong and it can’t kill you no matter what

Take big deep breaths. focus on each breath and how it feels in your nose, your belly. feel how it goes through your body and take each time to pay attention to the feelings your body has. play a game on your phone or begin to color while listening to meditations or even asmr. you are strong.

Sending so much love! Take deep breaths while holding on to something tight like arms of a chair, take off your shoes and socks and feel your feet on the floor. The sensation of breathing feeling your hands and your feet all together can bring you back to the present

I wish I was equipped to tell you the right things, but I’m in the same boat. This too shall pass. Be brave.

Be careful with normal CBT breathing like this though because it can turn into compulsion if you have OCD. All good suggestions otherwise.

panicking so bad
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.

I can’t stop panicking
I don’t know what crack my hormones are on this week but I’ve had like 4 different panic attacks at work today. I sometimes think it’s so silly that I was diagnosed with panic disorder until this starts to happen every 4 weeks. Panic attack followed by panic attacks all day for days. I feel like I’m going insane. I’m scared I’ll get reprimanded for staying in the bathroom for so long but I can’t have a panic attack out there in front of everyone :( I feel so scared ugh
