I've been missing a little while

[Dendy]

Hey everyone. I feel like I don't belong here at the forums sometimes. In 1985 I lost everything. I lost my job. I lost my apartment. My dad had me committed to a mental institution. I was taken from the institution one day to a court room where I lost custody of my only child, a precious little girl. My OCD is one of the worst cases ever in the world. I lock myself to my bed every night and I have done so every night for almost 30 years. I was hospitalized so many times. I cannot agree with cognitive therapy. I remember at one hospital, medical personnel being trained to throw up their hands and say - Ok, we are not going to talk about that. - when I would try to tell them something that was troubling me. Why was I there? Later in 1987 I was put on one of the SSRI drugs and it has been the reason I am able to go on. Reassurance has also helped me to go on. Reassurance has saved my life. So you can see why I don't seem to fit in here. I've begun to have some problems with ads again making it difficult to get around the site easily also. I needed friends. As you can tell I'm very sick with this illness too. Sometimes I read posts and I get so frightened but I still try to help. Do I have a place here?

Yes, you certainly do have a place here... That's why you're here.

Absolutely, you fit in here. OCD issues are a common topic on this forum. You are not alone in that. Is there a different reason for why you say you don't fit in?

I have struggled with OCD, too. I'm saddened to hear your struggle has been so intense, but glad to hear the SSRI meds help.
