What do I do? I'm new here; help!

[Horcrux_Hunte]

I was diagnosed with OCD in 2016, and I have the kind (version? I don't really know) that makes me break things for no reason. I have broken 4 cell phones, and I was looking through my bathroom, and I saw one of the old phones I had broken. It was my favorite one and I was (don't judge) considering suicide when I broke it. I am still in a super dark place. How do I treat it? I'm on Lexapro, but it doesn't work at all. Should I increase my dose? Should I get a whole new drug? Please help; I'm so stressed out!

You are going through a tough battle. Yet, you are the one tougher then the battle itself. Many battles you have already conquered and are still the one standing. Many things you have come across remind you of certain events and you tell yourself to dodge the moment of darkness.

All of this is showing the light you have among yourself. As to the hope and confidence you have. With such, darkness will never win you over. Keep your shield before you no matter what part of darkness may come your way. The shield is the light within you. When there is light there is never any space for darkness. 😌

On behalf of the medication if you find it not working then it may be best to increase or request another type of med. In addition to what you are going through write down what you feel. It will bring you a bit of relief too. 😌

Hi get yourself back to your doctor pronto and tell them what is happening. You might need a new med or the old one increasing but do seek help please. x
