Itrusive OCD thoughts, feeling guilty, anxious having panic attacks! please help!


Question: Itrusive OCD thoughts, feeling guilty, anxious having panic attacks! please help!!!?
I keep having these unrealistic intrusive thoughts, for example if i see something on tv i believe it is going to happen to me,There is so much in the media now about gay men coming out after having been married for years and having children that i think that my boyfriend will someday turn gay and leave me which i know is NOT going to happen but i feel guilty for having even thought that and it makes me have panic attacks and get anxious! today i kept thinking that i might hurt my boyfriend, like what if i accidentally push him into traffic and he dies or something like that i am so scared i don't know what to do, as a child i always feared that my parents would try to kill me in my sleep which also caused all this but i eventually got over it and as a teen i had thoughts of my parents dying and i could do things like wash my hands A lot and pray and say things out loud because i felt that it would stop that from happening. but again, it all went away eventually but my OCD is coming back and i don't know where to go from here. the guilt for having these thoughts is unbearable. usually my bf helps me deal with all my attacks but he is away at work for 4 months and i have no one to turn to. im so scared.


I just need to know i am not the only one who feels this way and that it will be okay!! i know i shouldn't feel guilty but i can't even look at a picture of my boyfriend without feeling terrible about myself and crying and immediately going into a panic attack. we are so close and i am scared that when he comes back this might change how i act towards him. PLEASE HELP!!!
