You sound exactly like me. The most random thought can pop into my head and it will drive me up the wall. I can take it so deep until I don't even know what i'm thinking about anymore. The voilent thoughts are especially worrysome. Everytime I hear a murder story it screws me up. I feel bad for the ...

So everything was going good, then it got great, and then kaboom.. First depression, then the dark thoughts. I even did a type of exposure therapy on myself, throwing an empty bottle of sprite down a flight of stairs, pretending that it was my dog. Just a minute ago I was in the bathroom. I thought ...

Today was terrible. I just got severely depressed. I feel like no one likes me. I have trouble making friends, or even talking to people comfortably. I want to be normal(whatever that is.) I just hate being alone all of the time. I feel like i'm not good enough, and just get real nervous talking to ...

Well, if you're crazy, i'm crazy, too. I have the same types of thoughts. I have them about violence, right and wrong, the "tiny millions of cells in humans," and lots more. It gets very bothersome, but I just try to keep going. I'm doing some exposure therapy right now in therapy, for OCD. I hate i...

Active forum I see.

Ok, we all know Ocd sufferers are famous for their rituals. I have tons of them. The problem I have is not being able to understand why I do them. Like constantly checking my zipper, or having to do things certain ways. I'm doing exposure therapy right now, but I am having trouble figuring out why I...

I've been on effexor for nearly 3 years. I'm on 225 mg, and it works great, as far as I know. Hard to tell after so long. It does not help with my anxiety, though. I need a whole different drug for that. I'm on inderal for anxiety. Plus the effexor, so you may want to ask your doctor about it. It is...

It's night two of switching from seroquel to luvox. It's been miserable. I've been sweating, crying, severely constipated, headache, insomnia. Last night I only got 4 hours of sleep. And here I am again wide awake. This is jacked up. I feel absolutely horrible.

Started a little exposure therapy today. I tend to feel pretty good when I don't think about the horror movies in my head. The therapist told me to imagine stabbing my mother in her sleep. Uh, that's a tough one. I feel like I am just helpless right now. Please, anyone who has defeated some of these...

I take 600 mg of seroquel a day. Well, actually, i've been taking 400 mg for the past few days. The reason is because my doctor wants to convert me from seroquel to luvox. Cold turkey. I was worried about that because usually if I skip a day of serquel, I become depressed and have suicidal thoughts....
