I assume this is going to pass and I'll figure out what I should be doing and when from other sources. But it's so odd not to have some little voice pushing me.

i definitely hear where you're coming from. i tend to view my OCD as kind of an "odd" coping mechanism for anxiety that i have not been able to substitute with anything for the majority of my life. sometimes taking an ativan helps, but if i relied solely on ativan to help me cope with the anxiety i feel most of the time i'd be a regular ativan junky! which is not a good thing. i take one ativan a day and that's it.
