Question: Can exhaustion and/or OCD severely drain you emotionally!?
Answers:
OCD can be a very draining disorder both emotionally and physically!. It is a very common complain amongst OCD sufferers!. Some sufferers have reported to me that they feel so drained that they start to even obsess that they are going to physically breakdown!. The mental energy needed to maintain your compulsions can often be very debilitating!. Medication (usually SSRI) can assist in dampening down the arousal caused by your anxious reaction to your own thoughts (and subsequent need to ritualised) but it rarely is enough for a full recovery!. CBT treatment including exposure and ritual prevention (E/RP) is the most effective treatment we currently have!. It is hard work but if done properly the effects are long lasting!. Seek referral from your GP for a clinical psychologist who specialises in OCD!.
