Sic of my damn OCD

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.

Sorry you are having a rough time. Good that you reached out here.
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.

Hey there! Don't give up! I agree with Girl! I think OCD is in our minds to distract us from the real problem. I have OCD and many facets of it but it doesn't take over my life anymore. I did end up in the hospital twice in the 90s. I take Zoloft and Risperidone. They help a lot. Write more often. Get your thoughts out here too but ask to see your psychiatrist more often and definitely look into therapy. I am!

    So I went today to pick up the images of my heart to bring for the second opinion, and they said that they would be at the desk. They assured me that they would be there and that they would be open until 5 PM.  I bypassed their stupid AI receptionist that gets everything wrong, and talked to the medical records person, and purposefully spoke to her to make sure we were on the same page, since I...
