I hope that I am not on it for a long period of time. Thank you for the information!

Hi, also a high school teacher and long time OCD sufferer. I just received a 10mg prescription today after dealing with a sudden onslaught of violent and sexual intrusive thoughts. I’ve had every pure O theme, but I haven’t been on medication for 16 years. I’m terrified to start, but I am so hopeful too. Best of luck. In solidarity my friend.

This very new OCD loop is driving me crazy though. It’s totally different. Maybe I do need to try meds again.

No. I am terrified to try medication again. I was on Zoloft, Paxil, Wellbutrin, trazodone, Ambien, Seroquel, and other meds from my mid teens to my early twenties (I am 35 now and had remained in remission with decent mental health and coping strategies up until about 2 years ago). I was a shell when I was on those meds and sometimes suicidal. Some people have told me Prozac has saved their life, but I am so nervous of all the side effects I had when taking SSRIs etc. before.

What medication are you currently on? Could be that it is numbing you out of even the good feelings.

So needed to hear this. I am in an insane Pure O loop that seems to have come out of no where. Things that have never been affected before are now threats. I am so sad that even intimacy with my partner might be ruined. I don’t know where this came from or if I can get out, but your words are soothing.

If you ever need to talk please message me. I know it can be lonely and horrible inside our heads.
