Advice Please . . . :)

I have what seems to be the questioning and obsessive thinking type of OCD. I will question myself about past events countlessly and often times they are related to my spouse. Recently I have developed a new worry over the past. While we have talked about it before this seems to be one of those "Just in case it was this instead of this" questions. (I know those of you with OCD will understand even though that seems to make no sense.)

Is it wise to let this obsessive thought pass or to ask it to ease my worry. I'm not sure what to do. My mind wants to ask so bad but my heart says maybe not.

Just from the limited information you have given us, this does seem like classic OCD issues. I would advise, again from info you have given us, to try to "let it pass." As you probably already know "reassurance with OCD" is usually only temporary and reinforces the cycle again.

Thanks Kay Kay. This is very helpful. My OB (I'm eight months along) has prescribed me Prozac in a low dose for anxiety. I have yet to try it because in the past this kind of medicine has made me feel loopy and anxious even more. I am currently looking for a Christian therapist in my area as I have heard that this can be even more helpful with OCD.

It' is my understanding that sometimes a low enough does will not cause the anxiety. Just try to work with your dr about it. Hopefully, that will be the case for you. Congrats on your pregnancy!

I would love to help, but the information provided is vague and cryptic.
Please elaborate!

Thanks,

Thank you Kay Kay. I appreciate your advice. I have been taking the Prozac for several days now and it hasn't made me too much more anxious just very weepy.

And Peccatore, I will endlessly question my spouse afraid that he is cheating on me or flirting with someone. It is very relentless and he says it's unwarranted. I have been doing this for ten years and it has literally been something every day that I have to question him about.

I don't know anyone else with this problem so I often fear I'm going crazy.
