Maybe you are struggling with the what if thinking. But don't get ahead of yourself. Just take one step at a time. You can do it. You are not your thoughts even when they feel real. Most of what we think never comes true or if it does is never as bad as we imagine it. Try to create a sense of safety for yourself by being compassionate and kind with you. It's ok that you are not ok right now. That's what I tell myself often. You are not alone.

@.anonymous. Update - I'm on Accutane again. About a month in, which is when I stopped last time. My mental health is worse, but it might be because I messed with my birth control and hormones. We'll see!!

So I have been diagnosed with GAD and OCD and my psychiatrist prescribed me with zoloft 🤔 but I dont know im really hesitant to start medication because im scared of the side effects and ik afraid of relying on a medication for a long time. Does anyone else take zoloft? What is it like? Any side effects?

17f So I don't have an official diagnosis, but I know I have it, I struggle with it since I was 4, I went through like almost every theme like contamination, symmetry, checking, existential, health anxiety, false memory, moral ocd, sexual ocds, and also a therapist told me I have it (another one said I have generalized anxiety disorder but idk like I was talking about textbook ocd to her) I don't have a therapist now therapy is not working out well for me but I was hoping to maybe get medication For me the absolute hell is POCD and real event ocd. I genuinely don't know how do I start. I also think I will replace POCD with harm ocd cause well I'm to scared to talk about POCD. But what do I even say like do I come in and talk about more obvious ocd stuff I experience and then randomly jump to POCD, seems like a crazy jump idk... Also I thought it will be in the evening and I will have time to prepare but it's in and hour and a half I'm terrified Anyone? Help? How do I start what do I say I'm so scared
