Hi

I went for an assessment last week and everything went fine despite me worrying. I was told I was being referred for CBT sessions but they said there would be about an eight week (or 3 month) waiting time.

So that is some good news. But the OCD still bothering me. The problem is, now that I have OCD, or know I have it, I am always focusing on it, like worrying about triggers and spikes and things like that and doubting very often. It's like my mind is stuck in a constant loop (with OCD or just thinking about it seemingly in my mind 24/7) and I feel like it's going to be this way forever and that CBT won't help with this aspect, I don't know though to be honest.

They also said that they would have to give me a pretty high dosage of anti-depressants for them to work effectively so they recommended against it so I'm not on any medication. I just hope the CBT begins soon.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Best regards.
