  1. hello this type of ocd is pretty scary and tends to attach itself to things we care about. like youve pointed out you are not interested in this and should ignore it as false messages. i had exactly the same when changing my daughter one time , i had the thought what if while changing her i had inappropriately touched her. ocd then done its worst and sent me into rumination analysing ever detail of my past looking for something that didnt exist. i ended up in a and e convinced id done something bad. the only way to quiet this form of ocd is to not engage in any seeking behaviour. this is bad for any form of ocd but the more you pay attention to this type of obsession the more the fear grows and tries to convince you its real. the goal is to believe in yourself that you would never do something like that and forget searching for something that doesnt exist as this is the road to nowhere.
  2. hi everyone i was managing my ocd on natural supplements and it seemed ok for a while. maybe the ocd was just foring me into a false sense of security as all of a sudden bang a obsession that i couldnt control and my anxiety and ocd went through the roof. i was placed on mitazapine which i had tried previously alongside prozac , it didnt really do much then so i wasnt overly confident it would work along. reviews online were quite negative for mitazapine alone for the treatment of ocd. nevertheless i thought id see what happened. was just wondering if anyone had gained any success with mitazapine or whether they thought other ssri were more suitable? i may get some cbt in the new year also hopefully could further improve the chances of the meds seemingly being benificial. been on the waiting list for 8/9 months and was told that january would be likely. would love to hear whether their is hope on this drug? atm the anxiety isnt as bad as ive hit 3.5 weeks but thoughts are still the same. maybe the magic4-6 weeks will see some more improvements.?
