OCD? How to cope? Ideas?!
Question: OCD!? How to cope!? Ideas!?
I know this sounds so stupid!. I don't know what to do anymore!. I was up very late last night because I couldn't sleep!. My mind was racing too much!. I had very strange thoughts coming into my head,and they freak me out because I know it's not normal!. ( I obsess about dying and those I love dying!. I also worry about making decisions because if I make a choice and something bad happens, it's my fault!. This morning I didn't want to choose whether I met my fiance for breakfast because if something happened to him, it would be my fault!. ) so I lay there and pray compulsively!.
I have never gone to get looked at or helped!. It's never been this bad before!. It would only happen every so often!. My stress level is very high,and it has been occurring more and more!. I don't sleep, and I am driving myslef crazy!. Thinoing about death 24/7 is making me feel down!.
Other than going to therapy, what can I do!?

Seriously, get therapy!. It will help you!. I am having the exact same issues and I tried for a long time just to deal on my own!. I'm going for help, you should too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is not OCD!. It is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)!. I would recommend doing some searches on the internet and looking for some ideas on controlling it!. It probably will not go away completely but it can be somewhat controlled!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
If something is impacting your life that severely you should seek help to learn a better way to manage it!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Have you considered asking your Doctor about SSRI medications, for OCD and depression!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
i'm the exact same as you from the sounds of things to check things 3 times OVER or i start to think things will happen!.I even have to make my bed in a certain way or i stress out but someone else says to try counselling and i have spoken to councillors and it does help it has with me anyway and i hope u can too but the main thing you have to tell yourself is life's a funny old game and whats going to happen is going to happen and there's nothing u can do about it anyway so relax and don't blame yourself because it ain't your fault and bad things happen anyway and as you said yourself just pray isn't happening to you &yours!.
