OCD -Health anxiety over Coronavirus making life hell for me and my poor husband

[lyuba]

Hi, have a lifelong history of mental health issues-I'm now 65- and have had severe problems with Anxiety and Depression. I'm being treated by a psychiatrist who diagnosed G.A.D. and prescribed Pregabalin for my anxiety. He is aware of my OCD, but I have just started taking sertraline too, because fears about the health of myself, husband and daughter, who're all in higher risk groups if we catch Coronavirus, and constant worry about contamination and the long term nature (ie probably over a year before they develop and deliver any vaccine) of the risks of catching and one of us dying of this virus , have led me to become so depressed I was feeling "what's the point of being alive if I have to cope with all these constant worries. My son took his life in 2000 aged 21, and I went into deep depression for over 4 years, so I can't bear the thought of losing another family member and what it'd mean. Since Christmas 2019 I've had to cold turkey withdraw from duloxetine due to Serotonin syndrome, had an untreated UTI causing a serious kidney infection/sepsis and I have severe osteoarthritis and had to have steroid injections in my spine for sciatic pain so my anxiety level about further health issues were already high, then Coronavirus got into the country! I'm finding it very, very hard to cope and my OCD is also making life pretty hellish for my husband, too. Can anyone help?
