Guest Bluenose84 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 As some of you may know, I had lost my partner three months ago suddenly. Lately, I've just been upset a lot the last two days. Forever crying, and feeling lost and upset. What hasn't helped as well is, last night I was finding my Dad's profile on Facebook, as I had to message him that my brother had recieved his present, I accidently pressed the wrong letter on the keyboard. As his name begins with CO, I accidently pressed P and it came up with a disturbing group in the search bar. I made the mistake twice, as I had to check Dad's profile that I posted the message on there, and it freaked me out as I was worrying I accidnently clicked the link. Obviously I didn't, and all my group pending notifications where a ton of "Save the NHS" type things. I've not been well as it is, and that made me worse. I can't get an appointment at my GP for my anti depressents, and I am losing sleep and even patience. I'm isolated as it is, and once my election campaigh beings in Feb I will see some purpose. What do you advise? Link to comment
Symps07 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Condolences on your loss. Clicking on this page was an accident, don't think about it. The only problem is the meaning you are attaching to this incident. A person without OCD would just shrug it of. Do the same. Don't block the thoughts or perform a compulsion, let them come & try to distract yourself. Election campaign sounds interesting? Would this be to with the general election at all? Link to comment

I know it shook me up when I typed the wrong letter, but as soon as it came in the search box, I pressed delete at once. I'm trying not too, and I've been busy as I've had various people call me today asking if everything was OK. It's for the local elections in my area - I am representing a ward with another candidate and I am eager to start! That's the worse thing with OCD when you've nothing going on, you just have things running around in your head. What shall I do about the GP, I do NEED to see someone as those tablets were helping me sleep. Link to comment
Symps07 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It wouldn't matter if you hadn't deleted at once, it was an accident. Think of it like a phobia, if you're scared of spiders & you went into an attic you'd constantly have that fear in you mine. But someone without that fear wouldn't give it a second thought. Same with OCD, because you have OCD this has upset you & you can't let go of the thought & the 'what ifs'. Whereas, with someone without OCD, it might upset them, but they would delete it & not dwell on it. Yes I agree, when you have time to think, OCD makes its self known! Have you tried ringing your local practice to see if you can get your medication on a repeat prescription? Good luck with the election, dare I ask which party your with? Link to comment
Guest Bluenose84 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) True there is that, but I need to stop obsessing over things. I am VERY careful when it comes to the internet. I'm no porn fan, and would rather get a thrill of pics of hunky and hairy shirtless guys. I leave things to my imagination. What I have done instead now is if I need to access my Dad's profile, I use the letter of our surname instead. That's how I am seeing OCD, and to be fair I am also scared of spiders too lol! Luckily the cold winter we've had has killed a lot of them off. I can never get an appointment, and my repeat prescription only covered my asthma medication - I am going to try tomorrow, as I desperately need to see a doctor. I'm falling asleep and waking at weird early times. I'm Labour - my competition is Lib Dems. Edited January 28, 2015 by Bluenose84 Link to comment
Symps07 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'd keep typing in the name the same as always. Avoidance is another compulsion. Best of luck getting an appointment, see if your GP will give you a repeat prescription this time, they should do with antidepressents as I was told your supposed to take them for at least 6 months? Good luck with the election campaign as well! I'm torn between Labour, Tories & the Greens. I don't want to see the NHS privatised & want to see more spending on social services, care for the elderly, etc... Link to comment
Guest Bluenose84 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have managed to get an appointment for Monday morning first thing, so I am really chuffed. True there is that, by avoiding issues but hey - it will take time for me to type the letters co in for my Dad's name. Thank you very much - Labour and the Greens will be the best choices for NHS care and spending on health care. Link to comment
Symps07 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Well that's some good news, hopefully you'll be able to get your sleeping pattern back in time to giving the Tories a good hiding! Link to comment
