Sign of OCD?

I have taken Celexa 10mg a day everyday for about 2 weeks. At first I was obsessed over the possible side effects it had on me but I know the medicine takes a 2-6 weeks to kick in, still find myself stressing over everything. I’ve even started picking up other peoples compulsions on this app/internet and had to get off before I drive myself crazy but I like how I can relate with everyone and seek reassurance. It’s a bad habit.

I'm glad u told me that because I'm feeling the same and even wondered if I have scitzofrenia

@davisamy385 I wondered the EXACT same thing this evening and I scared myself into having a panic attack. I had to call my counselor and get someone on the phone to calm me down, it’s terrible. I hate this. But I went to my car with a cold glass of water, did some breathing, and listened to music, after I went back inside and took a nap. 😪

@KAD.98 I recently developed ocd after the birth of my son and its terrible then on top of that I started feeling like I had a presence following me I think maybe it's our anxiety

@davisamy385 I have always had this issue, ever since I was a kid. I’m still afraid of the dang dark! 🤣 If I have a chair in the room it has to be facing me or I can’t sleep. But I’ve had symptoms of OCD since I was a child and it’s just recently gone chronic. I think it’s our anxiety and a form of OCD. I’m no doctor but I’m going to tell myself that and try to move on with the thought. 😪🥲

@KAD.98 Me too someone told me to make the room dark just as an experiment and shut the door then cover ur head with a blanket and then that should help you not feel like being watched and realize it's anxiety it helped me alot I hope it helps you once I put the blanket over my head I felt better and realized it's anxiety

@davisamy385 I’m going to try that. I sleep with the covers over my head and anxiety is a little better lol, could that be the samething?

@davisamy385 I’m actually scared to try that because what if I still have anxiety then it wouldn’t be my anxiety and I could be going crazy??

@KAD.98 But aleast it might help you answer your question I was also afraid I was going crazy anxiety can make u feel that way that's what my therapist said I think crazy people don't question rather or not they are crazy if that makes any sense

@KAD.98 Yes that I think is the same plus it helps ur anxiety like me

@davisamy385 Yes that makes sense, thank you ❤️
