Yes. Go in the bathroom and do a breathing exercise, or meditation. Breathe deep, and remind yourself that you are strong, and it will be ok. In the end, you will get home and be fine ❤️❤️

i understand this! i try to limit my sensory overload, by wearing sunglasses even if inside to hide from the light and by keeping my headphones on (which are soundproof). i listen to the stories on the Calm app. i've found that if i block out external stimuli in these ways it helps alot.

Advice for traveling with OCD
I am going to a country I have never been before and am feeling on edge because I will have to face the Airport, a place that causes a lot of germ related anxiety for me and I will inevitably have to use a public bathroom at some point before I reach my hotel room. This is my biggest fear place-made infinitely worse because I am transgender and there has been a massive increase in transphobia and hate crimes related to trans people using public bathrooms.-I know there isn’t much that will help me with that fear but any general advice on traveling especially in unfamiliar areas would be greatly appreciated!

Airplane Harm OCD
Hello! I just needed some words of encouragement. I have a trip in a few weeks to Florida. I have severe airplane anxiety. I get unwanted thoughts and urges. I know I’ll never harm anyone but I always think “what if” I do. What if I get the urge to open an emergency exit, or I get the urge to say “bomb” out loud. I would never want to hurt anyone. I’m in serious distress and I’m thinking of cancelling my trip.
