Anyone with this problem can really benefit from learning CBT. Unfortunately psychiatrists do not teach it usually. Do you have access to a psychologist that could help you with this?
OCD is really a mind game we play on ourselves and we need to learn how to stop the thoughts, control our anxiety with breathing techniques and/or meditation, and self-coach our way through these things. In short, we need to retrain our brain.

Hi there. This is a volunteer site and so I try to get back to people within 24 hours so sometimes you might not get a response right away.
It seems like these particular symptoms have just cropped up. I have a few questions. First are you under the care of a psychiatrist that is prescribing these medications? Have you learned cognitive behavioral therapy? Also, do you feel like you are under more stress lately that would cause you to have a spike in OCD/anxiety? I know mine works that way.
is nobody going to reply?
