Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

My daughter died in a drowning accident almost 3 years ago and everyday I go through the same cycle of feeling doubt, regret and guilt constantly. OCD is such a hard illness to cope with because of the stigma it has amongst people who don't have it or understand it. It is easy for others to say the things they say because their brains don't work like ours.

Have you considered CBT or DBT therapy? I am going to be starting DBT therapy next week and I think it might be exactly what I need. The problem with traditional therapy is that it gives you a very temporary release because you talk to someone that you can spill your thoughts and fears out to but then you leave the office feeling wiped out and end up thinking about the things that made you go to therapy in the first place. That is my experience anyway...

I hope you find some relief soon...good luck....

i know exactly how you feel. It sucks. Ocd is so cruel .. good that you made an appointment with your therapist! that always helps me . I always find that just trying to find something to preoccupy my mind helps a lot.

 I have extremely similar experiences, so sorry you are feeling this way. I actually missed work today as I woke up this morning that same way. I was ok yesterday and last night, then I woke up this morning and there they were, the feelings, the thoughts and I just couldnt face the day. I know exactly how you feel. Unfortunately for us, not everyone understands what we feel, our thoughts and the pain that results. 

Hope tomorrow is a beter day for both of us. 

i understand you,  try to just stop thinking about that, postpone your thoughts for another day, sometimes it works, i hope you feel better soon....

 I hope seeing you'r therapist has helped and you don't feel so stressed
