help please

i’m a teenager and i have always struggled a lot with my mental health. i just had a huge panic attack and threw up. my parents don’t seem to understand even when they tell me they do. i’ve been diagnosed with adhd, occ, and anxiety. my dad has adhd and says he knows how i feel but he doesn’t. i can’t handle so much going on in my brain and no matter who i talk to ill be judged or ignored. i constantly feel anxious and most of the time just want to sleep. i don’t wanna die but i kinda wanna be gone. which is bad to say and i don’t know if i mean it and i don’t like that i think that way but i do. i don’t think i would ever actually do anything bad to hurt myself but i can’t help thinking about it. i hate that i have these thoughts. please help.

In my journey I’ve learned that I cannot control what thoughts comes to my mind or the sensations I may feel but I can control whether to respond. I can choose not to respond by watching the thoughts float on and bare the discomfort of the sensations knowing they’ll run out. All the while living my life in line with my values. I’m reminded of the Wednesday night webinar where Dr McGrath asked the question, would you rather live your life as a rockstar or pay attention to what OCD is telling you??? I know this is easier said than done. Hope this helps and know that you’re not alone.

Hi!! I was in the exact same position as you when I was about 14 or so. Every morning before school, I had a panic attack and would throw up. I subconsciously learned that if I “ threw up” ( it was more of just a gag ) it could excuse me out of things that brought me anxiety. However- every time I gave into it I was rewarding the thought in my head. I’ve gotten to a point now, a few years later- where once I feel the panic coming on .. I immediately remove myself from where I’m at and distract the thought. I go pet the dog, hold my cat, splash water in my face.. anything to pause the brain. I pinky swear this will pass, and I’m sorry you feel alone in this. My parents also don’t get it, and I’m having to do this without their involvement. Just being on here means you are doing a good job!!

I am so scared and alone.

Hi everyone. So recently I have been feeling so scared and paranoid of going crazy. I am terrified of i will go crazy and turn schizo. I’m so hyper aware of everything. My mind convinces me that I will end up like this but I really don’t want to.It’s my biggest fear and I think abt it almost everyday and I can’t handle it anymore. I just want to be ok. I have told my parents this and they say it’s all in my head and just laugh at me. I know it’s in my head but I physically feel sick to my stomach being constantly scared. Please someone help me please please. Thank you.

Pocd//Suicide//depression

So I and my mom got into this big fight yesterday and I said some things I didn't mean to say to her and she said some things and I know what I said was bad but what she said cut deep in me because Even though what I said to her wasn't good her words hurt because going through wat om going through rn is honestly the worst thing a human can go through my worries and fears now all of a sudden now become feeling of Suicide and self-harm and honestly she's right because at this point I'm at a dead end and there's no going back I didn't tell her what was actually going on with me because I know she will never look at me the same and growing up with parents that are Gen x back in the day mental illness is a fucking joke to them apparently and is not taken seriously not all of them are like this but I know a few now I've been thinking about offing myself I don't think I'm gonna make it I'm really struggling.

I desperately want help.

I feel like it's got to a point that I just can't deal with stuff on my own anymore. I've tried to help myself with compulsions and thoughts and behaviours and it helps to an extent but I feel like I just need more help. But I don't even know where to start, I've felt so ignored in the past and I don't even know where you can turn to. I'm in the UK so it's difficult, especially considering I'm only 17, to get any help for this kind of thing. I just want someone to talk to, something to help – medication, maybe? I want to try it, I want to see if it would stop the overthinking for a while. Stuff isn't as bad as it has been before, but I feel like I can't just leave this anymore. I just don't know who to turn to or where to go from here.
