It takes anything from 4-8 weeks generally for medication. Stick with it. Your living in fear and I done the same for years. I used alcohol as a crutch because of this. Now in recovery for 4 years. Looking back I wished I’d not done that obviously. This will pass. Write down your fears on paper. For me this helped tremendously. Try staying in the moment. Meditation really really helps, little walks , self care , give yourself a break. Accept the thoughts and fears for exactly what they are. An emotion similar to happiness and sadness. They don’t define you.

Yes I obsess about similar things all the time. When my thoughts go round and round for minutes/hours/days where it makes me exhausted and anxious it’s a flare up of my ocd. Medication has helped a lot for me.

I cannot stop feeling confused, im tired of looking at things and scared ill experience that, scared of my future with loosing a loved one, scared of death. Im so scared and tired that im like ugh i dont want to but also this is becoming to much. I just increased my medication today to 50mg of seratline (zoloft). I hope this helps soon. The dr wants me to get up to 150/200mg as this is the amount to help with ocd.

I can’t sleep, can’t eat (fear of food poisoning), sometimes don’t even want to leave the house. Anyone else feel TIRED of this?...

Hi , I am so afraid of everything. Last night I had a panic attack and a feeling of derealisation. I was so scared of death and couldn't sleep. I also have OCD symptoms every single day for 5 years now. I think I might have to visit a psychologist.

I don't think i can make it
Im so tired. I don't know how will i feel better. I tried everything but i feel so bad. My heart hurts and i can't breathe. I feel stressed for no reason. Im so tired. Im really tired of everything. I want to pray without stress. I want to be in a relationship, be a healthy and good partner without stress. Im so tired. Is it normal for OCD to be active for EVERYDAY? What if i upset, use, idealize, hurt, be obsessed, cheat my partner? What if i can't stay loyal to God and be a bad servant? Or what if God takes my partner away from me? Relationship and religious ocd, but sometimes pure, meta, s.o and more. This shit is taking my life away and i can't stand that anymore. I can't do it. I can't get a therapist. It's so expensive. No one here to help me. I feel like the worst servant, worst partner and worst daughter, sister in the world. I want to accept myself but OCD makes me feel like i don't deserve to live. Im so tired. I can't even look at enviroment. I walk by looking at FLOOR because everyone and everything triggers me. I feel so horrible. I always feel like something bad will happen or something is wrong. I misrecognizing my partner or others because of OCD. OCD makes me feel like everyone hates me. Even writing here makes me feel guilty for no reason.
