Since I am new and I did not see any threads on OCD, i decided to start one.
Hey. My name is Shell
and I have OCD. MY OCD is mainly tapping things in a 4,3,4,4 pattern and counting in 4's and other things. I totalled my car because I did a compulsion(looking back and blinking at a car i missed then i hit the car in front of me). This last year is when my family really started to notice my strange patterns.
Since OCD is an anxiety disorder, stress makes it worst. Lately, my stress has been horrible. I notice myself being more and more obsessed with my OCD. I am trying to change my life and I know that I need to rely on God and give my OCD to Him.
I recently went to get help with a psychiatrist. He is helping but it is really slow. I am thinking about medications because the more I focus on changing my OCD, the more obsessed I become with it.
I just dont know what to do. I was wondering if any of you have OCD or other anxiety disorders and what you did to change it....or well make the anxiety less.
