I know that there are not allot of reply's here. It seem's like the people who have the problem,do not want to talk about it. It's not a funny thing like you see on that TV program,"Monk"! It has all of these side stress producing thought's that buffit your mind like a storm at times. Sometimes it does not let up,and you feel like you are going crazy. I didn't know that I had it until 1990. I never heard of it. Before I developed it,I had panic attacks,minor worry,that turned into major worry. I felt like I would go into a black cloud,and become confused,and disturbed,and felt like death was possible. I could not get help in the Military school that I was going to long ago.The nurse told me to leave the clinic. People didn't know what I was talking about.Then no one knows what to do for you,and they may end up attacking you with bad words behind your back,or something else unkind that you don't expect. I know how the thoughts twist,and information that hurts you slams right in. I end up getting a pain in my chest from it all. The top of my head becomes full of pressure. I know what you are going through. Don't give up. Believe me,I understood what you where saying. Grievous burdens come from nowhere,and a twisting of short thoughts compound,and there's nothing to stop this. Luvox has helped me. I've gone through therapy for years,but it doesn't stop the process. It goes from one thing to another. There is nothing minor about it. I feel like something in the background is always haunting me. Get help as soon as you can. Talk to doctors,talk to balanced pastors,and be prayed for. There is much more known about it now. When I was growing up,there was no help at times,and tons of misunderstanding from people. I hope that I've helped,and you are not alone,or the only one with this problem. Hang in there. I don't know what else to do but state these symptoms,and they might get documented,and more research may be done on OCD,with Chronic anxiety.
