It also attaches yourself to the ones you love the most.

For example, I taken a blow with Harm OCD towards my partner.

I've seen that too in my research into OCD that I've done for my daughter where there can be a particular person we're trying to avoid harming or to maintain a relationship with.

There was one woman who has Homosexuality OCD, where she has to check and check and check to try to be sure she isn't gay. 

And it's because she fears that she will realize that she is gay and have to end her relationship with her boyfriend... or that it means she doesn't love her boyfriend.

So, hers is about avoiding the dreaded outcome of hurting her partner and losing her relationship.

I also had a client who had the same thing, who had a fear of disappointing a family member... as this family member would sometimes make homophobic comments.

And there is the compulsion to check and re-check and re-check to make sure that the dreaded loss won't occur.

@Someone here I get a panic attack from hitting a vape just one time that’s high in nicotine.

Your body was being overstimulated by cigarettes and probably causing your panic attacks.

you need to get off the medication to test to see if your panic attacks were just caused by cigarette addiction and coffee addiction.

I don’t know why you’re consuming so many stimulants and expecting nothing to happen.

Our culture is sick and why no one told you how panic attacks work because no one knows that coffee and cigarettes are stimulants

I also suspect you did not exercise with poor sleep and probably you had other habits that you haven’t really realized yet that were causing your panic attack.

maybe you were taking thyroid medication (notorious for panic attacks) I don’t know what you were doing 

A panic attack is not all in your head, it’s mostly a body problem while you’re just not taking care of your body and your consuming stimulants causing panic attacks

Hapé is a ceremonial tobacco that grows in the Amazon rainforest, and it helps to disconnect from the constant mind-spinning and grounds you more in 3-d, physical relatity.

Have you tried walking on a balance beam for 2 hours once a week?

A balance beam forces you to quiet your mind with a game element so it’s retained much stronger. Which interconnects the quitting with your entire body.
