Question:
Yeah i know what your talking about…The little pests that try to ruin every good time in your life,no matter how fleeting. It’s like this: Your out somewhere maybe a mall or something,and you just seem to be having fun,then something inside your head says "Wait! Your having a good time!" then immediately you start having negative thoughts.Then you think to yourself "Damn stupid MIND! Can’t even let me have fun!" I used to do that quite often,and it was very upsetting….But now,years later..I’ve seem to have a calmer demeaner and i can dismiss the negative things easier…the only medication i take is St.Johns Wort and depending on the brand-It can help immensely. (Be careful if you decide to take it though,as i read that it can be dangerous to mix it with other medications) I guess time can heal some things,and sometimes all we need is a little help. -Sparxs-

Hello all, I do not know much about OCD but the condition I have is really depressing me and sometimes I just don’t know how to cope…. A few years ago, when I was 15, my mum died. Since then, I have been obsessed about keeping myself clean. I shower at least twice a day, and I am always wanting to wash my hands. When I do, I feel a little better, but then the compulsion returns. My skin is REALLY suffering despite moisturisers, etc. Also, I cannot stand to have things lying around on the floor. If my housemates leave things on the floor, I feel I have to pick them up. Over the years, things have improved and I don’t wash my hands all the time anymore and I can feel more-or-less comfitable about leaving things on the floor. HOWEVER, all this changed when A friend of my housemate’s died the other day and my housemate went to the funeral. I freaked out when he got back because I couldn’t bare to touch him in case some death got on to me (yes you did read that right!). I also couldn’t touch anything that he touched as those objects would have death on them as well. I know this all sounds very unrational and I try to overcome it, but I can’t……… these things have a grip on me and won’t let go!! It makes me so depressed. All I want is a peaceful life, away from these persisting thoughts. I always feel there’s something trying to drag me down. I know this sounds strange, but if a good thing is happening in my life, there are voices in my head being negative about it and trying to spoil things. All I can do is try and ignore them. They won’t go away. A friend suggested that I just acknowledge them and treat the voices with the contempt they deserve and getting on with life. But I feel to do that would just be accepting them and their existance. It would seem to me that would have won a minor victory. I nave just re-read this and I cannot believe how screwed up I apear to be. I just want some help because at the moment I don’t see life as a good thing and I just don’t know what to do!! Best wishes to all out there who read this. Regards, Stephen

I was where you are a few years ago. All I wanted was the obsessive thoughts to go away so that I could have a peaceful life. I would have traded places with anyone. I felt that I was at war with my own brain. The only thing that helped me at that time was medication. Anafranil to be exact. It was amazing how I felt once the meds took affect. It was like being let out of prison. After a few months I came off the meds. I have been back on meds a couple of times — during periods of external stress — these periods seem to push me over the edge. Also, relaxation excersizes seem to help me. I am not on medication right now — my life has calmed down a bit. Now I can laugh at myself when I have thoughts such as "my head is going to blow off my body" – I tell myself that this is completely impossible and I get busy doing something else. However a few years ago this would not have been possible for me to do by myself, medication ( and at that time some counseling) were the only way for me to pull out of the cycle of obsessive thoughts.

I can’t think of a better way to express what I feel. I’m diagnosed with OCD and depression. I don’t know which of these is responsible for this feeling, maybe both. But you’re certainly not alone, and the only thing strange is that it sounds so familiar to me!!! All I want is a peaceful life, away from these thoughts, and whenever something good thing happens these obsessions come from nowhere to bring me down.

Gary, it sounds as if you may have OCD. I know it takes a LOT, but make an appointment with your Dr.for TOMORROW. Pretty well all of us on this newsgroup know how much it takes to do it, but you know what??? Doctors hear this every day. And while you and I do not so this every day, once it’s done. it’s not so bad. Even made me feel better. Seek out a specialist in Cognative Behavioral Therapy. Don’t just let your GP give you anti-depressants. Also, try picking up a book called "Stop Obsessing", by Dr. Foa. It is a blessing in disguise. Hope this helps. CanadaMan

Hello Stephen, You’re not crazy. You’re having a rough time and so many of us on this newsgroup have been there or are there now like yourself. It’s tough. The description of your thoughts in your post sound so familiar to me … I could have written the exact same stuff two months ago … I probably did … and I’ve seen many other people post similar thoughts as well. You are not alone. I’m not sure by your post but do you have OCD or do you think you might have it? Either way are you getting any treatment? You should talk to a professional especially if you’re feeling suicidal (which happens with OCD if you get depression … it happened to me) if you have not done so already. There are other things you could do in the meantime though. Keep reading and posting here … there’s a lot of support, info and help here. You could go a library or book store and get some books about OCD. Some good ones, that I like are ‘Stop Obsessing’ by Foa and Wilson and ‘Brain Lock’ by Schwartz. Also check out the OC Foundation: http://www.ocfoundation.org/ – there’s some good info there too. Learning as much as of can can be very helpful. I don’t know what else to say but that you’re not alone in the way you feel crazy and your obsessions don’t sound strange at all to me. I’ve had similar obsessions that you describe. Remember that OCD can be treated … good luck Stephen and post again and let me and the newsgroup know how you’re doing. Maybe we can help you some more.
