Hi,
I have always had bouts of depression, sometimes severe, but I've never taken meds for it...just hard to take that step. But now, in addition, I'm struggling with obsessive thoughts. Not bad ones, but guilty ones. If I question a decision I've made or something I've done, I can't let it go. I keep questioning it out loud to my husband, until he eventually convinces me it's generally okay. I come from a family that has some ocd tendencies, so. Wonder if this is related. And since it's gotten worse lately, maybe because of life stressors, I'm wondering if there are meds for this. Is this something I can ask my family practitioner about? I just don't know where to start. But it feels like I'm going crazy and it won't get better.
