Hi guys. I definitely relapsed. It seems like my medication is not working anymore. I keep having panic attacks and I want to go home (I’m away at college). I don’t know what to do.

I missed a lecture this morning because my alarm didn’t go off. However I would have only been about 20 minutes late if (funnily enough) I didn’t have a panic attack due to me panicking about missing the lecture. I haven’t had a panic attack in weeks because I’ve been on medication for my OCD and anxiety but I feel like I’ve been sent back weeks.

On my way home I had one of the worst panic attacks I’ve had in my entire life. I was driving Home from my peer support specialist class which is a bit far from me, my whole body was tingling, my heart beating really fast, and my whole body felt like it was going to give out and I would faint. I made it home thank God but I’m worried that these panic attacks will make it so I can’t do my job at work. I am going through a meditation change right now as I mentioned before. This has all been affecting me so much 😢

Hi All - I have OCD, anxiety and depression but after a couple years on meds and therapy have been doing fairly well so decided to slowly go off my medicine. Well, I was doing really well and now five days post going off meds I’m really struggling today. Anxious, crying, panic mode intrusive thought triggers and overall overwhelming feeling. I’m almost wondering if my fears of going off medicine have just spilled over and my OCD is triggering this feeling. Or if I made the wrong decision and that going off medication to balance me out is just where I need to be right now. Just really hard to be present Anyone else been through this? Any advice or ways to process. Going to get back into therapy for sure and support groups.
