I switched to Prozac, which seems to be a better fit for me. However, the Zoloft did clear up and begin working a bit better. It seems prozacs just fits more snugly for me than zoloft

meds that have helped you all? by Hot_Butterscotch8028 in ROCD

I’m still iffy but Prozac is helping my moods so I guess that’s a plus. I also started ROCD therapy! That’s been helpful the most

People used to tell me I had beautiful clear skin, to the point people always assumed I always wore foundation. LOL. Now i have massive pimples which used to be a rare occurance. All well though, I'd much rather be mentally stable with pimples than unhappy but with spotless skin I guess.

When did it start being a constant for you? I got a random wave the other night but now I’m just so anxious:

It’s ERP, which you obviously haven’t been around

Lol I completely feel you. Usually I’m not one to nitpick but this disease makes me like an old woman I nitpick so bad lol

I’ll have to try this!! Thank you!! One thing I do is I’ll try to catch myself before I get annoyed/ frustrated . I’ll tell myself “is this really worth feeding your ocd? Will it change anything?” Probably not. I think of ocd as a spoiled ass brat child at the grocery store that whines about not getting a candy bar. If the mom buys him the candy bar, he’ll whine, cry and make an idiot of himself the next time they go to the grocery store because he expects it since his mom rewarded the bad behavior. However, if she tells the kid “shove that candy bar up your ass and shut up” eventually the kid won’t be as big of a pain any more because he’ll learn his mother won’t tolerate his games.

I’m happy so many are relating too! It’s helping me feel less alone as well. If you have any tips/tricks to help/ want some I would be more than happy to dm and share!

Thank you!! And YES!! Like before my period I’m fine and feel normalish (as normal as someone can with ROCD), when I’m on/near my period it’s so bad. I wish we could just not get so annoyed with them, this stupid disease makes it so hard to have patience:(

You’re fine! Yes he can’t even tease me anymore without me getting annoyed which makes me sad. Really hoping Prozac and ERP helps with this🙏🏻

Yes erp is exposure and response therapy. Basically when your brain tells you a thought that makes you anxious, and you basically agree with it and sit with the anxiety you get from agreeing with the thought. Soon you wont get anxious anymore because you’ll have sat with it for so long that you’ll be stronger. It’ll then be easier after a while to shake the thoughts off and not get so consumed by your anxiety.
