Hi! I have ocd and panic disorder. It started acting up again and my doc increased my meds. Are you on anything?

[musicalony in reply to drumbits]

Hi

I was on fluoxetine high dose for a long time And i m off meds now since 2 months

[drumbits in reply to musicalony]

That is why you are having a hard time. Get back on the meds and you will see a difference

[musicalony in reply to drumbits]

U are right!But i want a permanent solution this time...these meds just make our minds numb to pain

Meds are good for short term

Hi and welcome. I love this community. You're not alone. It's really hard surviving this. I have anxiety since a kid, abuse, eating problems, physical health problems, bullying, parental abuse and disfunctional family. Had to wait till 16 for a diagnosis of anxiety and depression and when i got a degree in psychology, the psychiatrist had some respect to me and i told him i am sure i have ptsd and panic disorder, he said yes C-PTSD that might go into borderline and panic. It's a living hell so good job on surviving and reaching out. Remember you're more than your illness

Thank you so much!!We will make it through this living hell one moment, one day at a time..together

Even though i m typing this teary eyed but i hope so from the core of my soul.
