Talking to my doctor about OCD

0 Replies

Hi I was just diagnosed by my counselor this past year as ocd. And I’ve tried dealing with my thoughts and compulsions the natural way and trying not to give into them and eating healthier and only drinking one cup of coffee. But my ocd and the thoughts and compulsions are too overpowering and I’ve never talked to my physician about it and it started in high school and my symptoms included having to write an rewrite stuff over and over again if it wasn’t even or if the words were bigger than one another. When I tie my shoes I have to make sure the laces are the exact even length, as well as doing it for my bed, not eating in school because I ha to do it the same way if I got a good grade on a test, having to change my shirts if I thought I was sweaty, thinking I’m sweaty when others say I’m not, putting too much deodorant on because I’m afraid I’ll sweat and smell in actuallity I end up getting wet on my underarm from putting too much deodorant on. And hopefully I can either increase my doseage of my antidepressants or change to a different one to help with my ocd or get off my antidepressants. Because my ocd was never exacerbated like it has been until I was put on medicine for adhd and the whole time I’ve been on antidepressants it’s stayed the same or gotten worse.
