susannahrosebud I am also suffering from OCD from last one year.
I Recommend you to visit a psychiatrist and get yourself prescribed with Lexapro, ( It Takes a few weeks to take effect, but it certainly helps
You can also use other WONDER drugs like,
1) Tramadol
2) Pregabalin
3) Specific Benzo, Clonazepam ( Only For Short term)
You along With Your Gp Can Experiment with the above mentioned 3 Drugs, because you will be surprised with its result, Especially Tramadol
Hey
I can see strength in what you are saying and the fact that you want to assist others,
I too suffer from horrible nasty thoughts and atm I am having a top up on my cbt I as struggle to not see the reality in my thoughts.
Now it's your turn to seek help from the ocd community,
We are all there if you want to discuss your thoughts and please remember that you are not your thoughts.

Hi. thanks very much for your reply. I will have to go back to the doctors again, but i need to get the right therapy also its a pain as i will have to wait about 3 months if not longer for help. I dont know if i could talk about the nasty thoughts i have but i appreciate that you would be willing to listen, but who knows i might eventually. Thanks once again .

I too have intrusive bad thought OCD. It's been terrible at times and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone.
I had suffered with depression from post natal, that was years ago but the anxiety that comes with all this is so isolating.
I didn't know until recently that there was a name for intrusive thought OCD, it only came about because I was desperate one day and called mind, and the chap I spoke to was so helpful, he told me what he thought I was suffering with and told me to get professional help and see my GP.
Some days are better than others, the winter time is definetely worse for some reason, but I keep going for my family.
I hope you're having better days now and coping.
Best wishes.
K.
