Recently I have had so many painful thoughts that they appear to be panic attacks. It seems that I get obsessed with a concern,and I think that it's more of a panic attack,and OCD. With the OCD,it's hard to turn the page so to speak in my mind.
Panic attacks hit me like a ton of bricks one night when I was a teenager. I got better,then I got worse after going away to school. BF  |
BF you are going through so much right now
Sometimes I have a hard time telling the difference between OCD thoughts and panic/anxiety, too... especially with my intrusive thoughts. These things will roll around in my mind and I often have a hard time letting go, too. OCD and general anxiety (and accompanying panic attacks) can be hard to sort out at times because they are so closely related
You may be having a harder time sorting things out right now because you haven't found a trusted friend to really vent to yet and you are dealing with fresh wounds.
It's clear that you are really struggling right now, despite your meds. Has your pdoc talked at all about adding to the Luvox, or is she just talking about replacing it? Is there a time frame where you will be getting some help to control some of your symptoms?
You are in my thoughts BF
I wish I could give you a real hug.
