Not really tried CF before but thought would give it a go. Had problems with OCD for 20 odd years and took medication-which I think has made the problem worse and has changed me. I was reluctant to share stuff as I may regret it later and also feeling guilt already if I don't reciprocate future communications etc. May try and start some discussion in the OCD section about SSRI antidepressants and the long term worse outcomes reported by CEPUK: Council for Evidence Based Psychiatry. May be good to speak to people who've had similar experience.

Yes, the drug companies even admit those drugs don't help most people and cause problems! Stats show a good 6 months of talk therapy vs 6 mo of drugs and talk therapy does more good. Welcome

Welcome. The best advice I can give you, is surrender to God. This is his work not yours. OCD is probably a lot of thinking but once it is cracked, you will have learned the art of trusting God. OCD will be a blessing as it is going to be used to develop your relationship with God.

Bless you.
