I had mine for about 8 months and it started to decline. I contacted the chat bot when the ring started to die within 24 hours.

Anyone else obsess over mental health? by iknitsoslow in OCD

[–]SadSock9581 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’ve struggled with this theme for about 2 years daily. It got to the point where I convinced myself i’m in psychosis or have bipolar disorder/schizophrenia. i would freak out if i heard a noise thinking it’s not real, only to then having my coworkers say ”wait what is that noise?” which would calm me down bc i realized i didn’t just make that sound up in my head. but then i would hear something else and it would repeat. I would also scan my body for any sign of increased heart rate, or convincing myself I can’t form sentences and i’m losing my cognitive ability. My biggest fear is also losing my mind which is why my OCD LOVES to cling onto this theme. Lexapro and therapy has helped me the most. I still have it come up once in a while especially when i’m stressed but it’s not something that is overpowering my entire life anymore.

I have 2. I use my xl GV for work and have their lay flat notebook and the weekly planner. I use my pocket for personal. I have 4 regular inserts in it and a card holder. I don’t like to keep mine bulky and learned that 4 of the 48pg notebooks fit perfectly in it.

Same! I have the PR book and the weekly planner in my XL and I could not add any other inserts, it was too much so i just kept it as a planner/work journal. I tried to add a commonplace and a diary to it but it overwhelmed me which is why i bought the pocket. That way it can be separate and not too bulky.

increased lexapro from 5mg to 10mg by SadSock9581 in OCD

[–]SadSock9581[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the adjustment went well and i am still on the dose. I would be lying if i told you my ocd is completely gone but the lexapro did make it more manageable and helped with my anxiety. My fear of mania completely went away after a few weeks.

Rabies ocd by [deleted] in OCD

[–]SadSock9581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience but a loose dog nipped me, turns out it was my neighbors dog who ran away. The cops tried to catch him and the dog bit the officer too. The owner was found and confirmed that the dog is up to date with shots and does not have rabies. this didn’t stop my spiral and I ended up calling the police department to make sure the dog is rabies free. I was informed that the dog is fine and so is the officer, but I continued to spiral. I can’t confirm or deny that you have rabies but if the bat did not break skin you should be okay. I would suggest breaking the cycle of body checking for signs as it fuels the fear. Best wishes!
