Hi. I am a 26-year-old guy diagnosed with OCD seven years ago. Mine is of the mainly obsessional variety. It has been largely under control for the past six-and-a-half years, and I have been able to become pretty successful at work.
A few months ago, I started having some minor health problems that triggered some obsessions. I went back into therapy and seemed to make some real progress. Then, this week, the bottom seemed to fall out. Now, I am so worried that I am having a relapse and that it is going to be as bad as that period several years ago -- one of the worst times in my life. I'm so scared that the worry will keep me from working and ruin my life. I'm basically just scared that the worry won't stop.
My doctor is switching my medication, as of yesterday. I just don't know what to do. I'm so scared.
