Does anyone else struggle with this type of OCD? Or perhaps family members who might? My brother, sister and I all have severe cases of this type of OCD that we have to take medication for. We get it from all four sides of our family. It’s a horrible condition, and one that is a probable cause of many of our anxieties and depression.
I feel like this is why OCD was originally classified as a psychotic disorder, and not an anxiety disorder.
I was diagnosed with a severe case of OCD
It’s awful!
I do… It was worse than the delusions until I found a way to be ok with my thoughts
@Wave, @anon31960475, I know how it feels. My case of OCD literally gave me PTSD because my mind was already breaking down. The thoughts, gosh, the intrusive thoughts I had, and following rituals I had to make myself feel better, were horrible.
I developed ocd after a little while on zyprexa. Luckily I discovered the supplement Inositol which helps a lot. Now ocd is minimal to the extent it’s not a problem.
I have it I believe invega caused it. I dont take meds for it I just do the rituals.
I’ve had OCD all my life but I really believe that risperidone is making things worse
Same for having it my whole life. I’ve had it as long as I can remember, and to the clinical level, too. But it really had its big break when I was 12, that’s when the thoughts really started being bad. I was so depressed.
But now I’m doing better with 80mg of Prozac and antipsychotics, so much so that I hardly ever do the rituals anymore.
My cousin, who isn’t even four yet, has severe OCD. It’s sad that it runs in my family, on all four sides no less, and it affects us so much.
My mom sees a psychiatrist for her OCD. She always buys two of something. She always checks everything when leaving the house. She has OCD where everything has to be perfect, so when I was growing up she wanted me to be perfect, it made me nit pick people thinking no one could measure up to my expectations. I dated women and thought there was always a better woman out there. This sabotaged some of my relationships. I’m aware of it now. But I lost some beautiful women along the way.
I have severe Pure-O. Got rid of regular OCD a long time ago.
I have an obsessive disorder that’s not compulsive my pdoc says.
Is that what you mean?
With Pure-O instead of physical compulsions you have mental compulsions.
i had extreme intrusive thoughts since beginning of psychosis that i dealt with even after years of being on meds that i thought it was just one sz symptom that im stuck with, and oddly once i started zoloft along with my ap they became less severe even tho i started zoloft for depression
I have pure-o, I hate the violent intrusive thoughts. I was on luvox for a few years but have been switched to Venaflaxin and it’s working really well for the thoughts.
The pins Olanzapine, Qutiapine and Clozapine all could wipe out my intrusive though and those were the only meds that could do that.
I’m medium in this tragic ocd sht…
I have intrusives,and can’t fight them…
Pure dirty O.
