Any OCD Sufferers? I cannot Even Control My Life anymore! Panic Attacks Too?
Last night i was laying in my bed saying prayers, and i got this sudden feeling like my heart stopped like you get when someone scares you really bad. Well i tried to get some air and i could, but i felt so weird and out of my head, i was just saying please let this pass, like it was nothing, and when i realized i couldnt breath i ran to my dads room, and when i flipped the light on my breathing was better. But off and on for about a half hour i would have little attacks until my mom gave me valuim which is what she takes for her panic attacks. When i was little i had problems like this too but my doctor wouldnt put me on anything. And for about 3 years ive been battling OCD as well, all of this with no medication. I make little noises under my breath, and just repeat things, and scratch on my fingers because it feels like there is something on them that i can scratch off. Just a load of things, and bad thoughts. Its messing up my relationship with god,my family, and friends. Help?
I also feel lonely with my OCD, etc because i feel like no one else knows, even thought my mom has it too. My grandma thinks im depressed too, and i get depressed when i dont do anything but i just dont feel the urge to want to do stuff since last night, i feel like a freak thats going to live with this forever.
Praying has not done anything to me. It has helped me. I believe in god and want to do right by him, no matter what anybody says. Its my choice. I may only be 14 but ill go through all of this 20 times over to be with god. I cant let these things control my life. I have an appointment monday with someone and im getting (hopefully) reffered to a child phsycologist.
Yu know what? You need to stop praying and relinquishing control to some god. You need to take full control over your life by taking the reigns fully into your own hands and drive your own chariot.
Religion had killed my sense of well-being. You’re fukcing wasting time trying to pray and trying to regain control. How can you fully control yourself if you’re relinquishing control by asking some deity to "help me!!!"?!!!
Wake up and smell the fetid air. There is no better cure for mental illness than seeing the stark reality and the only choice–your own control over it.
Who isn’t lonely. I am lonely because I can’t fukcing stand other people in a relationship. Take the better of two miseries. If you’re having problems and it just makes it worse to be with someone, you don’t have to have somebody to make you sane and reasonably content.
Depression goes hand in hand with many mental illnesses because you’re socially isolated when you act out of the ordinary. Try to not get too obsessed over your OCD. Accept it and incorporate/work around it.
Everybody’s got a shiiiit load of problems (maybe different kinds) but… you’re not alone.

I have also battled with OCD, but i’m better for the most part, something that really helped me with anxity and panic attacks was finding some thing that took your mind off things, like humming a song from the radio when you get the urge to panic.(hope this helps i know how hard things can be)

I’m 19 now and I have OCD for about 5 years now. From my experience I can say that the best thing you can do about your OCD is just ignoring all the bad thoughts no matter how hard it is.
Even today sometimes It’s still hard for me to ignore some bad thoughts but by ignoring most of them I feel much better now and I’m not doing as much rituals as I did before, because I realized that it’s a big waste of time.
You also need to know that you will probably always have these bad thoughts. You can also ask doctors for medicine, but I think that you can’t get rid bad thoughts you can only avoid them by ignoring them and not do any ritual.
