I am having a panic attack related to OCD thoughts, does anyone have anything helpful or encouaraging to say?
I know all of the technigues & I’m working on my breathing. My panic attacks have increased in number for the past few weeks & I have taken Xanax a few times already this week & I don’t want to take them all of the time because I don’t want to become addicted to them. I also take Zoloft 100mg daily. I just would like to know if anyone could say something encouraging or helpful until it passes. I’m a SAHM & I have 3 children 2 very young here with me at the moment. Thanks.
Everything will be okay, think about something positive. Take a deep breath in slowly and out and remember who you are and were you are. Nothing bad will happen to you, it will soon pass.

I know the words ‘calm down’ don’t help much. I’ve been there many times.
I know this is going to sound terrible but if you can drink a beer or two that will probably help. Ask your doctor about Ativan. I prefer it over Xanax and it really really helps knock out panic attacks. For now, find yourself something to occupy your mind, do the dishes, pace back and forth, talk to yourself, it will pass.

I don’t know about any medicines for OCD but i have OCD and what i do to help is to clean. I love to clean! make everything the way you want it to be! You don’t want to seem crazy about cleaning but it helps me. Mainly because I have OCD with keeping rooms clean. I hope it helps, sorry i dont have anything better :/
