I’m having an existential obsession crisis right now. I’m in the bathroom at work freaking out. My head hurts and I feel crazy :( even tho I’m not hearing or seeing things. It’s been like this on and off all day.

Going through these things and also having to work is so so hard.

I felt similar to this last week. My OCD flared up due to other stressful circumstances in my life and it lead to a panic attack. Please go easy on yourself, and take a deep breath. You can get through this. We’re all struggling to resist OCD thoughts.

Hey! It'll be okay, I have been where you have been (also panicking in the toilet at work). All I can say is what you need to do right now is to get through the next few moments, take 5 minutes to just focus on your breath. Drink some water. Focus on your breath some more. Those simple things will help ground you (obviously won't stop the OCD) but itll get your heart rate down. If you're able- maybe finish work earlier today. Are you in therapy ? Things will get better, I'm sorry you're struggling.

Lol...I have them all the time. My therapist just tells me to put a pin in it for when I have time to deal with it and usually by the time I've dealt with work and other boring things, I've forgotten abt the crisis.

I know the feeling. I just try to remember my values and take it 10 mins at a time.

Okay thank you , I’m trying to keep busy. I feel like my thoughts and mind are trying to detach and go outside of my body. I can’t really describe it. My existential ocd is all about being scared of my own existence which makes NO sense at all. It’s triggering my harm / suicidal ocd bad. Like .... how the heck am I supposed to feel better when my freaking brain is always upset about being alive ??
