Well I Got Diagnosed Yesterday!

[JESSiCA_LyNN132]

Well I got diagnosed yesterday and I have Anxiety Disorder and OCD { obsessive compulsive disorder } They havent put me on any meds yet, But I found some GREAT coping skills. And I really like them I tried them to day in classes and they really worked. I thought I wouldnt find something to help me I thought I was a hopeless kid that would NEVER get help And I did :) If anyone has what I have please message me I would like to talk and see how you deal with it and I can share the skills that work for me and maybe they could work for you :)

                                                                                                                     Thanks Jessica :)

Congrats on your diagnosis and learning some coping skills. You sound very positive which is good in dealing with anxiety. It seems to feed on all the negative. I 'm sure alot of us on here would love to here some of the coping skills you have learned. Good luck to you.

Indeed, Sweetie.............from this point on all you have to do is work on getting yourself better! Which you will with the proper medications and a good therapist.
I'm very proud of you for your courage in dealing with this! Be very proud of yourself!
We are always here if you want to talk!

I am very happy to hear that you are getting some help and that it seems to be working already! That is great news.
You can get lots of great advice and ideas here about dealing with your Anxiety Disorder, and also your OCD, but you might also want to check out the OCD Forum and talk to the folks over there. The people there are really nice and have been dealing with OCD for years..............some have dealt with it all their lives.
Again, I am glad this has turned out so positive for you and hope to see you posting!
You know we all wish you the very best!
Peace

That is good that you got diagnosed, so you now can focus on treatment.  In my experience with this, the most important thing I did was to seek counseling to learn about it.  As with anything, gaining the knowledge about it will enable to you to deal with it.  Do you have access to a good therapist?
