  1. Hi guys, I'm new here, I hope you're all doing well today. So my counsellor has recently said she thinks I have some OCD going on and I think I agree. My problem is that it is related to my family and I don't know how to begin to tackle it because of this. I have CPTSD related to childhood trauma anyway so any communication with my family is always difficult for me. Recently though my parents need more support, they are both elderly and my mum has dementia pretty badly. My dad is struggling to cope. My family (siblings) are trying to get me to be involved in helping more and more and it's too much for me. It retraumatises me. I dream about my parents falling and dying and dread checking my phone each morning. If I have gone a while without visiting I will feel awful like I have to visit to feel better/get rid of the uncertain feeling. (They don't live near me.) Once I've visited I feel relieved for a bit but the fear comes back. How on earth do I not avoid my compulsion when it is related to this?! Any advice appreciated and I hope this makes sense
  2. I have been on 250mg of it and take it in the evening because it does make me sleepy. Has been so good for me though, moodwise and staying stable. The only problem is now I can't sleep without it which sucks! 800 sounds like a huge dose to me
