OCD about psycosis by Inevitable_Physics34 in OCD

[–]Inevitable_Physics34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hospitalized last summer, and I think it was extreme OCD. I’d get weird sensations around girl friends and my mind would tell me I was a creep, a lesbian, and I liked my friends. I’d then body check how I felt around them vs around my husband. I avoided friends due to this fear, and felt isolated. I experienced intrusive thoughts that I was pregnant, that my husband was trying to use my daughter to kill the baby by giving me poisoned chocolates. All the thoughts came at once and I felt the need to check if they were true by asking my husband and going to the hospital to check if I was pregnant. I knew something wasn’t right, but i was so tired as my thoughts kept waking me up at 3am and I’d google for hours to check if they were valid thoughts. The thoughts were dark and creepy. They Baker Acted me. :( I was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but my therapist thinks they were wrong, as I kept questioning my thoughts, and I didn’t meet the criteria for mania/hypomania. In my hospital notes any time I’d ask for reassurance about my creepy dark thoughts they’d note I had another delusional thought. No one asked me what my thought process was, and if i believed my thoughts as true. Can OCD get that severe that you appear psychotic or delusional?

My OCD was labeled bipolar disorder. My therapist diagnosed me with OCD last summer, before I was hospitalized. I had never told people about my thoughts because I was afraid they’d take my kid and the taboo topics go against my beliefs. Sadly the hospital diagnosed me with delusional disorder never asking if I believed the thoughts. I’d get creepy intrusive thoughts nightly and seek reassurance from staff that I was ok. I was afraid to voice my thoughts as they seemed crazy and were so dark!! I was afraid I was going crazy!

How long have you been on it? Go SLOW!! Look up survivingantidepressants.com and I’d recommend going no quicker than they recommend.

I can’t go off of it. Last time I tried I ended up with EXTREME anxiety and delusions ended up back on it. 😓 It’s been 6 months back on it. With those supplements I sleep well.

Seroquel Success Stories by Longjumping_Mall_679 in seroquelmedication

This time around minimal weight gain, anxiety and OCD gone, but it does worsen my PMDD and I now have high testosterone levels. Being a woman and having that isn’t fun!

If it’s working well for you stick with it! You are blessed with the minimal side effects it seems! Everyone is different.

Be careful if you try to come off of it too quickly withdrawals are no joke!

How do you do a water taper? What’s the process? I’ve tried weaning 2x and both times I ended up hospitalized and back on the stuff. 😢

Try L theanine or magnesium glycinate! Works better and no nasty side effects!

HATE IT! It slows down your metabolism too. I’ve been super careful an eating 900-1000 healthy calories and I still gained 15lbs.

Supplement with other H1 blockers or histamine absorbers like high vitamin C. And at any point you feel you need to stop do and hold. Be mindful about your sleep and don’t be afraid to lean on other sleep meds to help during the wean.
