Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
I was diagnosed with OCD about 15 years ago while suffering post-partum depression. I took Zoloft for a time. No longer do and most of the time I am ok. I still have the tendency to obsessive thoughst tho. Right now I am obsessing about an illicit internet relationship. I should be putting it behind me and focussing on my family. All I can think about day and night is this man. I have a sex/love addiction in addition to OCD. Last night I saw him after an absence and said something he misunderstood..he left abruptly...then came back briefly to say he would see me soon, but he did have to go. I am obsessing that he has taken what I said to heart and won't want to see me. I wonder why I should care? I joined the sex addiction board because I want to put this behind me. I need to get a grip. How can I get him out of my head...without meds?

I wish I could help you. Do you have a counselor that you talk to? i also saw your post in the other community. If you talk to a counselor they could help. If you need anything let me know. Sorry I couldn't help.

Wow Cindy, I go through the same things. As a matter of fact I went through it tonight. I'm not on meds either and I'm sitting here obsessing. So I can't really offer you any advice because I'm struggling myself. I guess I just wanted you to know you're not alone.

You can find a Behavoral therapist. There should be for info on therapist on line. I have met a lady and a group of people with this OCD stuff. We all have different ways of showing it. It can be done, but it isn't quick. I need to start working on mine. I have no therapist near me that can help so I hope I can find some books.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
