  1. How are you getting on?. I've searched for some one who has the same issues as me (checking for lumps) for some tips and found your post. I've found it unbearable lately and was hoping my meds would help but not so far but waiting for CBT . I hope you are feeling better?
  2. Thanks ill give it some more time and maybe try another ?
  3. It's just the OCD. The Doctor advised this is a good med .I will give it more time. I'm on the waiting list for the CBT so fingers crossed that will be soon. I think I had high hopes. Thanks for the advice ?
  4. HI I was put on Paroxetine /paxil six weeks ago and increased to 20mg after 4 weeks but now I have no more side effects I don't really feel any different? Am I being impatient? I really was hoping this one would help ?
  5. I love the way some of you explain the way OCD works. I can never find the right words and when trying to explain how i am. You are very articulate .I enjoy reading the responses on this site ?
  6. I found this thread really interesting as I often wonder the same thing as I have a health OCD but it'sso true the way I react to something and start planning my funeral etc. I need to train myself to think differently /rationally or the way I would a few years ago. It's such a bad habit OCD ??
  7. True! The first thing I did when I got home is google and I was told off haha! Thankyou
  8. Thankyou Ive heard Break Free from OCD is a good one !!
  9. I know I shouldn't be looking on the bloody internet its caused me enough problems I will give it a go and focus on what the Doctor said , Thanks
  10. It tells me to take it in the morning so will definitely do that. I just really struggle without my sleep . Id rather not take them if you know what I mean Ive been having a look at books . Do you recommend anything? Thanks
  11. Well Ive been to the Doctors today and been officially diagnosed with OCD and she has prescribed Paroxetine and apparently are great for OCD?.{ I don't suffer depression }. Im hoping these will work better than Sertraline and pleeeeassse don't affect my lovely sleep . Ive heard some awful stories about coming off them ? Im also waiting for my CBT. Any advice ? thanks xxx
  12. To be honest I'm very lucky with the sleep thing a few people hate me for it haha. I think you are in the majority having problems sleeping naturally. I hope you eventually get there. I've had a little look at I think it was Mind gym or similar but I lost patience as I felt it didn't apply to my issue. Do you recommend anything that has helped? Sometimes I wish I just didn't give a s*** about anything and I wouldn't be like this. It's so frustrating isn't it !
  13. I know it's horrendous when you can't sleep. I hope you start feeling a bit better and getting some sleep x
  14. Thanks you know im still bloody checking :( but not feeling as low so going to leave the meds and just wait fo the CBT but all ive done all week is sleep. Im in bed at 8.30 after work fast asleep!!! How are you getting on?
  15. It's only been about 3 weeks so not too bad ??
