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 finally started to look at my Ocd and really sick of having it. Knowing that I have OCD has answered many questions I had growing up and dealing with the damn disorder. I even think that I should check out for good due to my whole obsession. I think that my psychiatrist doesn't want to deal with me. He stopped seeing me every 3 months to now every 6 months.

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that.

OCD is no fun. Have you ever tried any medications for it? Zoloft is one that helps OCD.
Not like anything will completely get rid of it.
Therapy, books, YouTube videos about OCD.... are a few suggestions of things that can help. I am always looking on YouTube for anxiety help videos and they do help me.
I take it that your psychiatrist thinks you're "doing okay" and that's why he changed it to once every 6 months. You can tell him that you'd like to come in more often again. And you can always look for another psychiatrist... get a second opinion on getting you some better help.
Keep trying. Don't give up. You're not alone in this.
