Depends really. At the moment it is me being very conscious of breathing and it is driving me round the bend

Hi does anybody have this strand of OCD ? suffering terribly with breathing obsession

Can I ask - are you taking medication ?

Thank you both , I appreciate you both responding to my feed ?

Suffered for 3 years with OCD - mixture of intrusive thoughts . My latest obsession is that I am conscious of every breath I take . Does anybody else suffer with this ?

I have tried ciralopram , escitalopram, mirtizapine, sertraline and fluexetine over the past 3 years . My Phychiartist has just put me on clompramine starting this weekend 25mg going up 25mg per week up to 100mg when I will see him next

Paying too much attention to breathing and coughing

Hi all apologies in advance for this long feed. Suffering over year and despite being on escitalopram and mirtazapine , I feel utterly misearable with my obsessions. Obsessions have ranged from horrid sexual thoughts about children to body Obsessions. The latest one is taste and I obsess that I can't taste my food but I can , really weird to explain .food is always on my mind and just keep thinking about taste . I have had cbt for 6 months but this ended in September and I have to wait up to 18 months for referral for more. I met with my phychitrist last month who made a long term plan in regards medication and treatment options . This gave me reassurance and when I went back to see her last week she had left and I had a new Dr who was not as supportive and a bit blunt . This has made me feel so much worse . I have since found out my work pay for private and I am considering private therapy . Has anybody got any experience with private treatment ?
