@Italianguy1 Intrusive thoughts and feelings are not fact, they are not good or bad - they just happen. It doesn’t mean anything that they happen. And most importantly they don’t say anything about your character. That’s OCD and OCD is OCD. You are your morals and values. The fact that you care means you are a good person. Hold strong, ride the wave of bad feelings. Look up grounding skills, TIPP skills (for distress - kinda like break the glass in case of emergency skills), and mindfulness skills to deal with the bad feelings. Guided meditation and breathing exercise are really really helpful. You got this!

Make sure to give the medication some time to work and try not to get discouraged. Everybody reacts differently to medications so keep working with your doctor to find the right one for you.

I just ended my 2 year relationship with an amazing guy because my intrusive thoughts wouldn’t stop. I started Prozac 9 days ago and the first few days, I felt great and all the original love I had for my partner came flushing back. The next few days I started becoming anxious and today I had to leave work because I could not stop ruminating. When I initially broke up with him I felt a split second of relief, but now I am having the same feelings that I was having before and I don’t know what to do.

Lexapro
Has anyone on here been on Lexapro before ? I just recently started it and I just wanted to see if anyone went through similar symptoms and if they went away at all. It started out as me feeling extremely tired all day long and now recently I feel numb like I have no feeling or reaction to anything like I used to before starting this medication. Has anyone gone through this? Does it go away after a while? Do you end up feeling normal and able to cope with the OCD better? Any feedback would be really helpful. Thank you
