How would my mental disorder be classified?

Question

I have had a sense of impending doom for almost 20 years. Getting someone pregnant, getting an STD (I always use a condom), going to prison (no particular offense in mind), killing someone in a fight while defending myself, etc...I will fixate on a particular phobia for a while, and once I have "solved" the situation in my head, I might have a few days peace. Then I create something else to fixate on. I have been on every psych med known to the free world. I am to the point where I have considered suicide as my only option. By the way, I am not currently suicidal and have no intent of harming myself right now.

Answer 1

Why do you want to know about a mental disorder classification. I would think a better question might be how you might obtain some relief from the obsessive thoughts that are causing you discomfort. Certainly after 20 years you might suspect there is no quick fix. Rather, you face the daily struggle of releasing the fixated thoughts. You might read the book "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing" to determine is your thought process might be typical of someone struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Answer 2

No one but a doctor should be answering this question. I only have one  thing to say  SUICIDE IS NOT AN OPTION!

Answer 3

It sounds like it might be OCD.  Hopefully you have gone to a psychiatrist about it. Look at this link and see if you think it is OCD.

Answer 4

it sounds like obsessive compulsive disorder.  you can obsess about thinking you might do something horrible or inappropriate or you could obsess about something that isn't even a possible situation for you.  it can make you have anxiety attacks.  

what kind of medicine have you been on  because i have ocd and i take paxil.  you should also know that sometimes you have to be on a higher dosage or have a combination of medicines to get relief.  have you gone to a psychiatrist yet?  You could also need behavioral therapy.

Answer 5

It sounds to me like generalized paranoid anxiety.  You should go see a different doctor, a qualified psychiatrist should be able to diagnose you.  On top of meds, I would suggest cognitive behavioral therapy, to learn how to control your intrusive thoughts.

Try to remind yourself that even worrying about something t'ill it makes you sick won't stop that thing from happening if it is meant to, so just be as careful as you can in life, to avoid the things that you fear would negatively impact it, and then release the rest of your fears/anxieties to the universe.

Good luck to you!
