So my OCD is primarily obsessional and is entirely focused on the safety of my family members. I worry a lot about my sister being raped, for example, and have to repeat things in my head or touch things so that I feel that I am preventing it from happen. I also do this kind of thing like bargaining, where I notice myself enjoying something and then promise never to do it again if it will prevent something bad from happening. I’m on Prozac and it has lessened my obsessions and compulsions a lot, but I was just curious if anyone else has this kind of OCD. How do you manage it and/or find ways to relax? I’m also curious about people’s experiences with CBT; it hasn’t really worked for me.
