Help for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

Question

I was diagnosed with OCD years ago. I was on medecine before and did great, got taken off, and was fine for years. I thought it was under control, but clearly not! My OCD is with reoccuring bad thoughts and worrying all the time and needing reassurance. For example, I have been with my boyfriend for 8 years. He is SO GREAT! He is so sweet and would do anything for me. My family LOVES him! One day we got in a fight and I was screaming at him over something ridiculous. I was holding a piece of paper and yelling at him. He asked to see the paper and I refused like a million times, even though what was on the paper was what I was yelling at him about and he was really confused about it! HE tried to grab the paper and I took it away, still yelling. Next, he just grabbed my wrist and took the paper. I blew up and started yellign taht he :grabbed me" in a hurtful way, even though he didn't at all and would never. Since then, I keep having thoughts that that was an awful thing for him to do, that it was abusive, etc. I know he would never hurt me ever, and he didn't that day, but how do I make these thoughts go away???????/

Answer 1

See I don't have a medical chart of you're conditions in front of me, so I suggest talking to the man/woman who does.

That would be your doctor, talk to them about whether or not you're showing any symptoms to be put back on the medicine.

Chances are considering you went well without it for an entire year, that you are progressing, and maybe the dosage will be smaller this time.
