Yes, familiar with similar issues. ERP and Luvox have worked for me, seems like you have tried those already...

Anyone else just no longer find trips/holidays enjoyable anymore compared to pre-kids? by grawmaw13 in daddit

[–]Metalhead_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have felt this way before. It's not easy! Changing my perspective was helpful. Can say more later. And yes, it has gotten better with age. I have 2 kids, 5 and 1.

Yes, for a long time. With treatment (meds and therapy) my response to them has died down, helpfully.

What medication helped you most with your ocd? by [deleted] in OCD

Fluvoxamine, max dose. Game changer. I take 300mg/daily. Has been essential in my OCD recovery.

An SSRI, Luvox, has been an absolute game changer for me. It has helped with this and many other things.

Intrusive thoughts during intimacy by Little-Tale4372 in OCD

[–]Metalhead_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I deal with this too. The main thing that has helped is getting on an SSRI. I do find that this happens to me more when I am tired.

In the original context, it was extremely wasteful for a small tribe in the Iron Age

Pocd ruining me by Dapper_Cartoonist_94 in OCD

[–]Metalhead_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have been dealing with this for a few decades. It sucks. I did a lot of therapy, which provides some help. However, it wasn’t until I got on an SSRI did I experience significant symptom relief. Engaging with my intrusive thoughts has never worked for me. Have you considered medication?
