Is this OCD? Or Something else help I'm really scared?!
Question: Is this OCD!? Or Something else help I'm really scared!?
Just in 2006 I have been a hypochondriac went to 5 different doctors all 5 have declared me OK!.!.!.!.!.!.!.then in 2007 I was actually questioning my sexual orientation which gave me stress & depression I remember when I went outside to walk around constantly thinking about my sexual orientation I had this little feminine sensation & I thought I was transgendered which made my fears even WORSE but given some time all these unwanted thoughts went away & now I'm OK
But just a few weeks ago I became a hypochondriac again went to 2 different doctors both declared me fine!! So I was asking myself why does my mind go through this vicious cycle!?
Then I questioned my sanity & as soon as I did that I felt a anxiety attack coming, & now that thought has lead me to believe that this world is all a dream & nothing in it exist but me!! I'm pretty aware that this is reality, but I cannot seem to shake these thoughts
Any suggestions!? Whats your advice!? Would you say this is OCD!? These thoughts are really torturing me!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
This is a classic case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder of Sexual Obsessions!. This is NOT borderline personality disorder or something else!. It is (from the symptoms you describe) only OCD!. Questioning your sexuality is quite a common theme!. It can be managed through the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy as well as Medication!.

The other stuff about believing you're getting diseases, questioning your sanity, the social avoidance and stuff is also part of the OCD!. If you don't know how to deal with the OCD, you will probably just be more damaged by being social!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't sound like OCD, it sounds like a mixture of a lot of personality disorders, possibly Borderline Personality Disorder!. Try a licensed psychiatrist that is willing to LISTEN to you -- some dont, i know-- and tell them everything!.!.!. you can also research online about personality disorders and the like, but self - diagnosis doesn't usually work to well!.

I agree that there are symptoms of OCD, but not that they necessarily involve only a sexual nature!.!. OCD can manifest as many "themes", all depending on the current "trend" of obsessions!.
Your thinking is obsessive - the preoccupation with the things you're worried about!. What you've done to relieve these obsessions are your compulsions - the doctor visits, etc!. You're suffering anxiety as a result of your obsessive thinking!. You cycle between obsessive thoughts, fear, and compulsions!. Are all parts of anxiety disorders, the second most common mental health conditions aside from depression!.
Relax!.!. What you feel and are going through is treatable, and not uncommon, either!.!. You do need to seek help for it, so a treatment plan get be enacted!. Medication usually does help, and you might want to reconsider it!. Is it worth it to be miserable just to not be drugged!? In this day and age, everyone takes something, so don't worry about that, if you were!.!.!.
Also, get a mental health specialist who specializes in anxiety disorders, including OCD!. In NY, i know of an outstanding group (you didn't say where you are!.!.)
Good luck, and feel better!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
