I'm drowning and I am seriously questioning whether to call my Pdoc....I got diagnosed with obsessive thinking (OCD) and my fixations are people....I got dismissed from my tennis for fixating on my tennis coach. (Obession her...Compulsion-texting, calling, meeting up with her...etc) I have no longer any contact with her....However, I have been fixated on another person for over 6 years now...and she came back into my life when I got dismissed from my tennis team....so immediately all that attention went straight to her.....Now I dont get to see her anymore (shes a teacher, i help out her during the winter season) and the anxiety is coming back and the thoughts are resurfacing....I constantly have this urge to get in contact with her....and its starting to become intrusive....I leave for Vaca til the 15th of March tomrrow so even if i call my Pdoc, she really cant help me....So idk if i should just hold off with the call....or do i call just to give her a heads up?

Can you call T? Even just to talk for a few min? That may help. Also it may help to do an OCD worksheet?

I say call, but be upfront about your tendancy to fixate on a person, a doctor should be able to deal with this and help direct you in a proper direction.

I don't know if I can help, but I can sure relate to your problem. I've never been diagnosed with OCD, but that's what I do--fixate on a person, usually my T. One replaces another. Are you asking if you should call pdoc or this teacher you're thinking about? From my experience, it's usually disappointing to call the objective of my obsession, whether it's a T or another person. I'm always disappointed because my expectations are not met. Does that sound familiar? I'd suggest calling the pdoc instead. It's hard when you get these urges. What does your T say to do about them?

Rainbow, thats perfect thats exactly it.....and i meant to call my Pdoc, i gave in to my urges ive had all day anyways and texted my teacher....Chances are she wont text back...but it was either not text her and have the urge to....or text her and play the waiting game...The waiting game is easier to deal with....

hey i am so sorry you are feeling like you are drowning. that is terrifying and i feel so much for you.

i hope everything is going even a little bit better. i dont know much about obsessive thinking but it sounds so traumatic. keep us all updated

I think OCD behavior is a distraction so that you don't really have to face what is really going on with you. I would think that facing yourself and your issues will help you to stop this OCD behavior..........
