Does anyone else feel like they are on a roller coaster ride with ocd? Just when I think I have an obsession/compulsion under control, it starts up again and it takes over my mind and life. I hate having ocd and add and panic disorder and my medical problems.

 I totally get where you're coming from...after one obsession leaves another one comes up...or the old one just comes back and takes over. What's important is to continue working to overcome the obsessions and compulsions. My OCD has been in remission for quite some time, and it used to paralyze me terribly (I required 3 hospitalizations because of it), but after LOTS of therapy I overcame it. The biggest thing I learned is that it doesn't matter what the content of the compulsion/obsession is...what matters is how we react to it. If we don't react to an intrusive thought, then it doesn't become an issue. But if we do, it can quickly escalate to a full-blown obsession. How we react is SO important. Wishing you the best. Hang in there, it does get better.

It's amazing how OCD can be mild to start, but develop to all-consuming over time, but the right med can make it almost all go away. But the lousy doctor I had took me off the pill (which they no longer make; it's only available in generic form), and it didn't work as well when I went back on it. I had my life, and it was taken from me, so now I struggle again.

Me, too. I'm on a VERY high dosage of Clomipramine, plus three other drugs. What I'd give if I could get the effect I had the first time.

It's such a ridiculous disorder! I know touching something or tapping something won't keep someone I love from being hurt, nor will not doing the rituals make them be hurt. The rituals have nothing to do with the happenings of life, yet the feeling that they have an effect is there.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
