Unfortunately this is still a reality for many people 😕 OCD is quite often misdiagnosed or goes undiagnosed completely. There are so many people out there who suffer silently. But by God’s grace we are given strength to persevere!

I’ve been on so several different meds with negative side effects and some made me way worse. I have major depressive disorder but I believe the ocd and anxiety is what brings on the depressive episodes. I have yet to find a psychiatrist who will give a diagnosis, or misdiagnosis.

@marlomarie I’ve discovered that a low dose of an SSRI works for me. But it takes a solid 4-6 weeks and I feel worse before it gets better. It has to be a low dose for me or the side effects stay too bad. Maybe you can talk to a psychiatrist about trying things out at lower doses since it sounds like you also have a lot of side effects

@OCDMM I’ve tried that and so many different meds, I’m scared to try another because of what happened to me during last trial and error. I’m hoping I can find the answers. I’m praying God can lead me to the right treatment because I’m starting to feel like there’s no help for me and I will continue to suffer through severe episodes .. this past week has been extremely difficult to cope

@marlomarie I understand. Peace is coming. I promise. Sit with the anxiety and distract your mind from adding more

@marlomarie @marlomarie I’m so sorry and I have definitely been there. It is so disheartening to suffer through side effects not knowing if it will help and scared to go through it again. Have they tried giving you something like a benzo? I try to use Xanax sparingly but it has helped me before get through the rough patches. I pray to give my worries to God and to have him help guide me and give me peace. Try to trust him and have faith. I am so sorry you are going through this. I’m in a rough season myself but I have come through the other side before and I will again. So will you

@OCDMM They gave me lorazepam and I likewise use it sparingly but sometimes just no anxiety is HUGEEEE. Helps the mind to recover

@OCDMM Aww thank you. Yes I’ve been given Ativan and klonopin and have taken Xanax in the past for very short period of time. Due to their addictive tendencies the docs here are very hesitant to prescribe it but I’m moving and hopefully I can find a new doctor that can help me gain some stability through all this. God is my anchor and I pray all the time 🙏🏻❤️ I appreciate your words of support., this app has helped me already just by seeing everyone else that goes through the same chaos of the mind ❤️ God bless everyone
