I have been on zoloft for about 7 months and some things are better but other things are worse. I have been very depressed for a long time. OCD has been a part of my life for years, but the intrusive thoughts got really bad when I was about 18. I had blasphemous thoughts that bombarded my mind all day for months. It was absolute hell. OCD has affected my life significantly in the area of family and friends. Work has been a constant drama because I am always doubting whether or not I am doing the right thing and if I am not doing the right thing there will be very severe consequences for me. Decision making causes a great deal of stress and energy. I have troubles with eating and a heap of other things. It's good to know that there are other people to talk to here who know what it's like to have OCD.
