I can see already! I am sure it will be helpful for me as well as I am not diagnosed officialy with OCD but I am sure I do have pure form of it in a form of intrusive thoughts which came back now I think triggered by loads of stress and events last year after around 5 years of normal functioning.... feels like it is going back to square one again.

[SCC1 in reply to Atena88]

I'm sorry you are feeling bad. I have mostly intrusive thoughts, too. Some behavioral compulsions because of magical thinking, but mostly mental. It is hard, but if you do get diagnosed with OCD, there are very good therapies to use to deal with it, ERP being the best. You will find out a lot about it, here.

Thank you for your reply, I am aweare of therapy and already waiting for it again, had first call yesterday to categorise where I need to be-I had therapy before so I know how it works. Here in UK , I don'y think they really diagnose things like so. I am going to see GP today again as I have started on Setraline around 2 weeks ago and I feel horrible- not able to sleep, nauseous all the time and my anxiety is hitting 10times worse than before I started the meds so I think I need to change it to something else ...

Good luck with everything!

[Atena88 in reply to SCC1]

Thank you so much! It means a lot❤️ I hope it will get only better with different meds to control it a bit at first

[SCC1 in reply to Atena88]

Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. You just have to find the right dose and medication that will be good for you. And it sometimes takes awhile for them to work. But you will be okay!

[Atena88 in reply to SCC1]

I am on the low dose and already it gives me so much grief so I think this one is just not for me... I think I will try to get back to citalopram which I was taking 10 years ago for panic attacks, I can't remember it being as bad as this.

[SCC1 in reply to Atena88]

I hope you find some relief. We don't need to feel worse just because of meds!

[Atena88 in reply to SCC1]

Yeah, I agree❤️
