My fingers are bleeding all over the place. I can't stop subconsciously chewing on them so I'm wearing gloves. I can't stop picking off scabs everywhere on my body.

I get taken advantage of because I clean and I don't have a job. I can't do everyone's dishes. It overwhelms me. But I have to. I won't be able to leave it there for much longer. I even put it in the sink to soak for you.

I can't stop finding imperfections on my face.

This new medication is bull. I feel like my symptoms are worse than ever.

Can't even turn the oven off the right way, have to go all the way around.

Can't sleep because the texture of the blanket is all wrong.

I just want to be better...now? readysetgo.

Probably not a good idea while your fingers are bleeding, but have you ever tried hot sauce? I used to compulsively suck my ring and pinky fingers until I put hot sauce on them to stop. I know what you mean about doing everyone's dishes. I absolutely cannot have dirty dishes. If it's in the sink, I wash it by hand, even if the washer is empty. I made a post about my possible OCD, I get what you mean about imperfections on the face. I get that way, too.

It will get better in time. How long have you been taking the medicine?

Luvox is not helping enough. I'm having a manic episode. WHEEEEEE...the nurse says I have to stop the Luvox. Maybe try prozac? We will discover that on Monday.

I'm on prozac too! It makes me hyper as ever. Hopefully it won't do that to you.

SSRIs didn't do **** for my OCD/trichotillomania. Have you tried an atypical antipsychotic? They were a wonder drug for me. Completely stopped my hair-pulling.

I'm on Haldol 2mg, Lamictal 50mg/100mg depending on where I am with my birth control, and Klonopin 2mg as well as Luvox 300mg. SSRI's help my social anxiety/depression/OCD so far.
