I am so sorry to hear of what you are going through and hope you figure something out.
I have had OCD since I was very young. I don't know when it started but it started somewhere between the ages of 5 and 10. I would consider my OCD mild because it doesn't bother me too much...that or I have just made peace to living with it. My first panic attack was at age 10 but I haven't had one in at least 5 years. I do feel the oncoming of a panic attack 0-2 times a school semester and have learned to take over of it before it gets out of control. I just distract myself with something lighthearted and funny. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for everyone. My older brother gets terrible panic attacks (much worse than I have ever felt) and he needs to be on a medication which does help him. I can ask him what it is and his dose (if you would like me to) and how it makes him feel. My older may have worse panic attacks but I have much worse anxiety. This is something I want to work on because I feel as if it exacerbates my OCD and perfectionism. Although, I think I may need to get professional help for that. I don't want to take medications because they have never helped me. In fact, they always make everything worse. I was thinking of exposure therapy or something....I don't know. Have you ever tried that? As far as homeopathic treatments, I have never been a fan. None of it has ever worked for myself and I am highly skeptical. Although, it does work for some and may be worth some small part of your time trying any of it. I know some people who swear by it even though I am skeptical. If it is working or it is placebo....what does it matter, if it is helping them? I wish you a high probability of success on your journey (hopefully) towards recovery... |

Hi inkedpaint,
Distraction techniques are nothing more than a patch over the underlying problem, not a cure. I found that out the hard way. Without excellent, competent medical help that Dam is likely to break one day in a most spectacular way. I say this for your own good. Mine was broken after years of rigorous mental and chemical re-inforcement by an incompetent Psychologist who pushed my 'Triggers' to make me crack in order to prove I did not have control. I now no longer trust Therapists, and suffer greatly without meds (contra-indications with heart meds). All I have is my Meditation techniques to prop up my very broken mind. How broken? I get Anxious - sweaty, shaking, greying of vision, fogged brain - when I eat a meal on my own. My first Attack was in a restaurant. Despite my experiences, I would advise you to seek professional help until you get a solid grip on your Anxiety and OCD. The earlier they are treated, the better the results. Dave.
