I need to know how to control OCD. someone please help?

Question

The problem is uncontrollable bad thoughts. If you have the illness and have been to a psychiatrist please tell me what he said, and the exercises he gave you to do. I think the problem was caused by being molested as a child if that helps. also please tell me how you feel.

Answer 1

i have ocd also with the horrible thoughts that torcher me and i see a psycologist..i just started the therapy ans she is taking it slow with me. it took me many years to tell anyone because i thought i was crazy and they would send me away.until it was soo out of control that it was consuming my whole life,,this year so far i only have worked 5 weeks.i was perscribed zoloft and let me tell you it was a blessing. the first thing you need to do is get on medication to help some of the over whelming anxiety that comes from this (ocd).and depending how anxious you are they will either start the behavior therapy or wait some. i also was malested as a child but in 1989 i was diagnosed with ptsd. i had the ocd for years but not that bad until 6 years ago i wathced my father die and then 2 brothers and 6 more people,that was  very over whelming and the ocd went out of control.. you are not alone there is alot of people that has this..i am doing better than i did before meds.     do you have a doctor you are gonna see?
