Hey Greg, first and foremost you’re so strong for being so transparent. Secondly, your change of location could play a role in the increased panic attacks - I was away last weekend and felt like I was stuck because I was away from my “safe place”. Know this , that you are not alone and you will get through this. Maybe a check in with your therapist is needed ASAP. Also I’m free to talk more if you want to talk.

Thanks I just feel like I am a danger to others. I get so many thoughts about what if I kill someone for no reason. It doesn’t make sense and I’m tired of dealing with them

@NOCD Advocate - Greg J. Greg, think about what you did to feel better in the past. You know you have OCD, you know you’ve never hurt anyone and don’t want to, you know the thoughts are opposite of what you want.

Hello Greg, breathing exercises is one of the only things that seems to help me get through panic episodes. Try 478 technique, or google other ones. I'm sorry you're struggling, but the panic will pass and you will feel better soon. Be sure to chat with friends and family to help you and check in with whomever prescribed your meds, maybe you need an increase or another type. I'm here too if you need to chat buddy!

You can do this, Greg. Remember all you’ve learned from NOCD — if you’ve taken any notes from your sessions with NOCD, look back at those, and do the therapy you know 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 😢

Getting worse again
Ive relapsed pretty hard with my anxiety and depression, and ocd thoughts. I was doing so well for months and just suddenly everything feels so hard again. This week has been extra hard, I haven't had much energy do to much at all. It's like I've forgotten all the ways to handle my thoughts. I don't think I'm looking for tips or anything I just want to write this and maybe talk to someone here. Anyone here who's in a similar situation?
