I added myself to this site a few weeks ago and I will tell you that I do have severe OCD. I hate coming into contact with almost anything. I even ordered my own shopping basket to prevent any contact with the ones in the stores. I am constantly cleaning, washing my hands and clothing, and I just feel so lost. I have found this pill called amoryn that i am presently taking and i pretty optimistic about it. I have taken zoloft, luvox, paxil, wellbutrin, and anafranal(hope i am spelling correctly) but with no success. In addition, therapy was just too much to bare. I botught a book for my therapy sessions called "stop obsessing" and some of the examples and things they expect was just too much for me to even read. I felt that it was belitting to even suggests such things as "eating a sandwhich off the floor" and that is not even the half of it. I WON'T MENTION ANY OTHER EXAMPLES b/c they tend to cause more obessive thoughts for me and I am sure it may do the same for my fellow oc's. So i ended therapy. Has any of you felt that way.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I am new. However I joined just to be able to respond here. Foa's book is a shocker when you read it. It is scary and gross and yes some of the things you do in CBT seem insulting and belittling. But it can work.
I did intensive treatment with this book as my basis. I did exposure work that if I look at it wrong could be embarassing. But it helped me and that is all I cared about.
We each find our way, but if you ever want to talk more about it, just message me. I am here.
