Update

[alyssuh]

I thought i would write a little update on my struggles and being on luvox for probably 3 months now. I still struggle, but i feel the medication is helping me, despite the constant feelings of aversion to food until i get sick from being so hungry and the naps i have to take from being exhausted during the day. However i fear much of the reason why i feel okay mentally is because i’m so busy with school. I still have ocd constantly feeding me these awful thoughts (today it was that my mom was going to die today, most of the time its that i’ll fail nursing school since i’m due to graduate this semester)...but i’ve been doing things to lessen the blows to my mind and anxious feelings it gives me. Although i am constantly terrified with anything it tells me regarding my mom/family and school thankfully, i feel i’ve had more positives than negatives in the last month. I do become afraid writing down anything the ocd makes me think because i’m a pretty spiritual person and i don’t like putting negative things out into the world, whether its saying or writing it. Thats also part of a huge fear i have when doing cbt when you have to write the intrusive thoughts 😭 anyways, i hope you all are doing well, not letting ocd take over your life and remember ocd is not a part of you! Its an intruder that may never leave but you can control its strength by making it weaker and less intrusive each day

I have been on Luvox for quite some time and I believe it works for me. I have not heard of any new med lately. Fight for your life....don't give in to ocd. Thinking of you.
