I was diagnosed with OCD over the weekend. It started with hand washing turned into obsessing over cancer to something happening to my children now I am experiencing obsessions of ending up in prison. Primarily due to watch I OTNB as well as other shows of that sort that made me nervous while watching. Now I have never been a violent person and have even been afraid of stealing a small candy as a kid in fear of going to jail. I can't seem to escape the fear that I would go crazy and end there. I have a family and my fear w cancer was me not being their so jail is same thing. I have met w a doc via emergency room and that sure felt like it and left really bad fears after. Am now on Kolonipin until I can meet with w a psych for evaluation. Any insights l, advice or positivity will be very help ful

Happy Monday

Hello Buddy, sorry to hear about what you are going through. I have OCD also and just would like to say, that I hope the fears and distress diminish. Hopefully the mental health workers/psych can help alot.

All the best, don't give up! =)

I would try to avoid known triggers til I had a chance to talk to my therapist. No TV show is worth that. It may sound ridiculous (and it does to me now), but there was a time I had to avoid any TV show or film set in a certain city. It would just set me off about someone who lived there who had done me wrong in my opinion. Luvox and CBT helped, but it took time. That was the last bad episode I had and it was 13 years ago, so I am cautiously optimistic.
