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. |

Welcome, I am also very new here..
Your Obsessive thought's are they health related? I don't know if you read my post but if your obsessive worrie is about health I could also use someone who understands that. I also have what I call a miled form of OCD. my doctor told me I have more of the obsessional thoughts of death and I get myself worked up pretty bad, Anxiety has been through the roof since I fainted last sat. Take care and I hope I can be of some help |

Depending on what meds you were on, some of them seem to "poop out" after a while, so your symptoms may come back. Changing meds will usually be effective to get your response back, and after a while, if that new med poops out, the first one will usually be effective again.
In the meantime, the more you worry that this set back is going to create problems for you, the more likely that is. I know that it's damn near impossible to get your mind onto something else, but if you can, that's the best way to stop the worry from becoming a full blown obsession. But I"m guessing you already know that, right?  I wish you good luck, and hope that this set back passes quickly for you.
