Need a Doctors Opinon

by SeanCky, Jun 26, 2008 03:52PM
I am posting this in 3 forums because I am not sure if this is Depression, OCD, or GAD. I had a severe bout of depression starting around 5-6 months ago. I never really had urges of suicide or hurting myself however. I constantly slept and was very very afraid of sharp objects. I had bad images of attacking loved one's with said objects. Also thoughts of randomly hitting people associated with me. I would go and get no my knees and pray really hard to make it go away. I struggled this deeply for 2 months even having people cut my steak for me and I am 25 years old. I saw a pshyc for 4 visits and mentioned OCD to him but he ruled it out saying that it sounded like moderate Depression. Well needless to say after my last visit with him I no longer had the sadness, or sleepiness and I was motivated once again. However the thoughts of attacking people still lingered in my head. I play board games, make smores, and take them to theme parks etc. because I love family time. But duid not have these thoughts towards people I disliked or who made me angry but the one's I really loved like my wife and family. It has calmed down a whole lot because started to accept that they were there and did not give them fear anymore. I was so afraid of anything breakable or any sharp objects for a long time. Now it is a lot more mild. I have never even punched someone in my entire life. I am such a peace maker and hate violence so I am not sure why I was having the thoughts. Needless to say I can control them pretty well now...but they are a nuisance and I wish for them to go away. I don't know is this GAD, OCD, or was my doctor right and it is Depression? The reason I ask is because I don't have any symptoms of depression anymore bu those thoughts are still around!! I am puting this in three communities to get the best answers
