There’s nothing wrong with taking medication long term. Fred Toates is a psychologist and he states in his book that he takes medication. A diabetic would not struggle to be ‘normal’ and stop their insulin. Many psychiatrists view an SSRI in the same light. Waking can be one of the worst times. You sound a bit brighter now. Please take your Seroxat today! If you do decide to come off it, do it with guidance. Seroxat does seem to have worse effects than some of the other SSRIs if it’s stopped suddenly (though all should be reduced slowly). Tricia x P.S. Not sure about the anger feeding it, but definitely don't be angry with yourself! stuocd on "The harder i try the worse i get" http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/the-harder-i-try-the-worse-i-get#post-43292 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:26:33 +0000 stuocd 43292@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ Hi Tricia x yes 40mg Seroxat but not taking for 3 days, guess that not helping (just wanted to be normal without meds) i guess acceptance is the best strategy i know. Posted almost as soon as i woke up as this bad time for me when i wake x I think i am so mad with my ocd that i want to fight it but maybe getting angry with it feeds it? catch 22 xx Anonymous on "The harder i try the worse i get" http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/the-harder-i-try-the-worse-i-get#post-43291 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:23:17 +0000 Anonymous 43291@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ Dear Stu, When my OCD is really bad, I haven’t found anything that will help. It’s why some of us have resorted to giving in to part of our OCD. It’s not what the experts recommend, but they aren’t in our shoes! However, we are not all the same, there may be something that will help you. Exercise helps many, and it might improve your sleep. Have you ever tried meditation? It works for me when the stress isn’t over the top. Music also helps, but again, not when I am extremely anxious or experiencing awful intrusive thoughts. In fact, I had one of my worst experiences (OCD-wise) at a concert where the most relaxing, beautiful music was being played. I am really sorry you are suffering like this at the moment. Are you taking any medication?

The more i try to get better the worse my ocd becomes i am getting triggers constantly.... very tired now. Has anyone got any coping methods (short term instant) when ocd gets really bad?
