Remember that it will pass. Until then, get plenty of rest and be super kind to yourself

Use breathing techniques, focus on your breathing; nothing bad will happen.

@justsomone1 - I wake up with a panic that I'm going to hurt my kids. Luckily I have a great sister that I talk too and reminds me that I'm a great father and would never hurt them. But it's still difficult I guess I don't really have an answer yet in how I cope with it. I wish i did. We're not alone though

I am sorry ocd is scary and it is hard . About 5 years ago I was afraid I was turning in to a monster that wanted to kill my family. It was the worst time of my life , I turned my self in at a psych hospital and they told me I had ocd.  I was very confused at the time because I did not really know much about OCD other than the stereotype on the Internet and I don’t fit the stereotype, super clean, German obsessed. I did not know that dark intrusive thoughts was away someone could have ocd. I was able recover but I  relapsed with fears of wanting to kill myself 3 months ago.I am geting better slowly. I highly recommend looking up how to treat OCD and exposure and response. And what is a  compulsion and how not to do compulsions. With ocd the more compulsions you do , you are teaching your self conscious that you’re OCD is a legitimate threat. You’re going to have to learn to get to a point where when you have the thoughts they don’t cause you to feel the need to do anything and you just kind of let them be there and then they don’t cause you any stress anymore but it’s pretty hard to get there. Stay strong and keep working on your ocd.

@Anonymous - I usually don’t have these. I believe it was a mistake quitting my Zoloft cold turkey. I didn’t even realize , but I was dissociating then I started looking up stuff about phycosis and panicking , I woke up my bf and was just crying for like 10 mins.

@justsomone1 Exactly, I searched a little and found one that can happen because of medication. Don't worry, everything is going to be okay. Drink a lot of water, and I know you said you can't breathe, but try.

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’m so anxious
My thoughts are racing again. My psychiatrist thought it was a good idea to lower my Clonidine dose, I don’t know why she thought that. I feel like I’m going crazy. I can’t stop panicking or freaking out or anything. I can barely eat again :( it feels like my nightmare from a few months ago when I first got bad is happening all over again. I feel so scared. My brain won’t shut up or stop thinking about what to freak out about next. I feel like I’m on fire, my skin is hot to the touch when I spiral. I can’t stop spiraling
