the reason i'm writing int here is to hope that I will be able to reach out to people for help. i was diagnosed with ocd when i was about 22 years old. My ocd has bothered me off and on since then. But every since 2 years ago, my ocd has got really out of hand. I'm constantly afraid that I am going to hurt someone, my thoughts have caused me to seek counseling and take medication. the thing is i'm scared to follow through with the medication. Lately, i have been writing constantly so I know that i havent harmed anyone. I'm wayy worse now than i was before and i cant explain why, i have tried asking doctors for more help but they dont have any more avenues for treatment. My mom is getting ready to leave for arizona for the winter, she's a snow bird and it's affecting me pretty badly to the point i wish she didnt have to go but i know that she must, i just dont know what i'm going to do because it seems like my main support system, for some reason it's wayyy worse and also because i know i'm not stable. Also, i used to treat my roommate and friend really well and liked hanging out with her but now it' seems like everything annoys me and i take it out on her, that's another thing i was close to her, and i'm having scary thoughts about her too. I just dont know what to do, can someone help i'm desperate.

((Hug)))  I'm sorry you're feeling these feelings, I know it must be frustrating.  Have you talked with your doctor?  There are many treatment options available, from medication to therapy.  You might also ask about this on our Anxiety, Panic & Phobias board for more advice & support.
