OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD) COMMUNITY
OCD

OCD

Okay. I'm not too sure how severe these compulsions would be classified as, but I'm scared to go to a doctor because I am afraid hes only going to prescribe me drugs.It seems like my hospitals only answer.
But I always experience things like,the urge to wash my hands-Always, but I don't always do it when i feel the urge because that'd be giving into it. I'm scared of going to the doctors because I am terrified of being prescribed more drugs.I always think the "what ifs" like what if i have an allergic reaction or it doesn't work, etc. I feel the urge to randomly yell, or hit things.This one isn't as usual as the hand washing but still happens a lot..even when I'm happy. I used to have to spell things over and over in my head, and I had an obsession with numbers and they could never add up to 13 or it would be on my mind constantly. I'm currently getting counseling but haven't had a session for a few weeks :/
Could anyone give me some advice on how to overcome this without medications?
