The best advice I’ve ever gotten for panic attacks is to let it happen. I know that everything inside you wants to make it stop but just take some deep breaths and tell yourself “I’m having a panic attack and that’s okay”. Remember that panic attacks aren’t dangerous and they always subside. Try some different deep breathing and grounding techniques. I hope you’re feeling better now, and I hope this helps

I hope you’re not still in it ❤️ In my experience it’s best to not try to fight it so much. Let it be and sit with it. Let time pass and the attack pass with it. It can feel so painful and all we want to do when an attack comes on is to try to push it away but oftentimes I find the more I push it down the more it grows. Maybe you can call someone who can just sit with you even if just over the phone.

something ive learned is that its a lot easier to calm yourself physically than mentally. if your mind is a mess its really hard to calm your mind with your mind. however, by controlling your breath, youre forcing your body into a calm state which automatically calms your mind as well. its a lot easier than trying to reason with your mind. i hope this made sense and that it will help you in the future!!

I don’t know what’s wrong
I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy
