I think I've only self-diagnosised for OCD; doctors have told me I have reoccurent depression (thus the Effexor), PTSD, some disassociation, anxiety. I have the symptoms of OCD, though. The "obsessive" runs in the family.

I've dealt with symptoms with and without medications at different times during my life. I'm not resigned enough yet (only 23) to accept that I'll be taking them forever, so I want to try to get off in the future.

I've been to therapy in the past, and I just find it cumbersome. I'm so tired of talking about my life and problems and this and that, especially when it doesn't always help. I just want to be able to tell myself TO STOP OBSESSIONG, distract myself in some way so it doesn't bother me. But these thoughts are so prevasive....(no, duh...).
