Am I going insane with my OCD unwanted sexual thoughts controlling me?!
Question: My thoughts are overwhelming, unpleasant, & uncontrollable to the point of danger. Every time I have an anxiety or anger-provoking situation, the thoughts are more intrusive. So intrusive that I'm more focused on trying to get the thought out of my head, rather than what I'm doing. Yesterday I almost got hit by a car, crossing the street because I didn't realize I paused in the middle of the crosswalk, with my mind being scatterbrained.
I can't even function enough to go to school or work. I can't even talk, & if I do, I stutter & people get impatient with me. Men not being able to control the thoughts is making me more depressed & anxious, & it makes my Tourette's go out of wack.
I see a psychiatrist, a case manager, & a counselor. I take 300 mg/Luvox (OCD & anxiety), 300 mg/Wellbutrin (depression), & 0.2 mg/Clonidine (Tourette's). I feel like these don't help & I'm afraid to tell my doctor because she wants to put me on Lithium, which I heard it damages your liver.

No one here can call you insane. You seem to be taking all the right steps, especially seeing a psychiatrist. The seems like an awful lot of medication, but I'm not a doctor. I'm surprised that you're having unwanted sexual thoughts because I know both welbutrin and luvox tend to have a negative impact on libido.
Wishing you all the best.
i feel for you. im telling you, all you need to do is grab the bible and pray. i cant stand her and judge you u kno? but you just gotta keep your head up. And remember,everything happens for a reason. no one can help you, but god. not pills or doctors. just keep praying.
