OCD overload
I am newly diagnosed OCD. It hasn’t even been a full year. I’m on meds but I don’t think they’re working. I’m going to talk to my doc about it. I’m having a lot of trauma resurface and it has triggered my OCD. I’m trying to keep it in check but it’s not really working. I’m being obsessive about things being in order and out of place and I’m counting 3’s and 4’s. It’s causing me so much anxiety because I can’t control anything. I don’t feel out of control, but I feel like I will loose it. I have anxiety meds but they are really strong and I can’t afford to be asleep constantly. What do you guys do other than meds as a soothing or coping mechanism? I’m so new to this that I haven’t learned how to do any of those things.
