Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
for those of you who didnt see my other post:
I have been getting used to my new medication regime (40mg per day prozac). i seem to have responded to this quite well, my anxiety level has dropped considerably but the intrusive thoughts are still there. currently i am on the waiting list for CBT but this can take weeks to come through. in the meantime, i have at least tried several tricks with the sexual imagery that plagues my mind, i.e. trying to think of it as comical- it sometimes works and sometimes does not (particularly not at 4am!)
I have severed all contact with this horrible woman, and changed all my numbers. she showed her true colours recently, on april 1st got a collegue of hers to phone me pretending to be from a VD clinic and saying that my ex-partner had tested positive for syphilis. she knows i am having mental problems, this was a cruel and heartless thing to do, although i did twig it was a prank after about 10 minutes. my mates said to me, this says more about her than you, that you would believe it because of the sexual lifestyle that she leads. this did make my panic attacks worse for a while, but i am now back at work and managing to hold it together for the most part. i dont like to rely on medication, but in my case it has really helped.
its hard to say if this is genuine OCD related, although the compulsions (to look at what she has posted online) and the intrusive thoughts are a dead giveaway. however, i am waiting for a proper diagnosis before i jump to that conclusion. some people have accused me of being self-obsessed, i am not but the thoughts i expereince mean that sometimes its all i can talk about- has anyone else had this happen?
thanks a million for the support!
