My name is Crusher19, I have been going though anxiety and depression for the last eight years. It started when i had bad thoughts and words would come into my head and i had to say them no matter how bad the word(s) were or i felt guilty if i did not say them and i mainly had to say them to my wife (girlfriend at that time) because i was with her, but once the words were said a wieght of relief was lifted from me until the next word came up. My wife was the one who told me i needed help. Thats when i started to get help and was diagnoised with severe OCD. A psychologists prescribed a med called luvox and i had an adverse reaction to the medication, which has left me with tick like movements and speech problems. over the past few years my anxiety and depression have gotten worse where i have been hospitalized..i have tryied Mcleans OCD instutute for a couple of months in patient. was alot better, however, the past year my anxiety and OCD have gotten worse were i have been claimed disabled through the state of MA. I no longer can work at this time, i isolate myself mainly from anyone one other than "my safe zones, or friends/ family" which is not much at all. My anxiety even with family/friends i find myself having to leave. i find a negitive for everything, no matter what it is. MY OCD and my aniexty push through all the time. It is time for me to stop running i am tired of it,if anyone wants to share experiences, thoughts, please reply... i have used the chat and so far people have been there to support and answer any questions i have... Thank you.. Crusher19.

Hi, Crusher19!
Welcome!
I have always had anxiety and depression my entire life. About three weeks ago, I was also diagnosed with OCD.
I, too, am new to the program. Just in my first week now. However, I have found these forums to be really helpful to me already. Everyone is very supportive, and we're all going through similar things, which made me feel less alone and less crazy.
Good luck with the program, and we are always here if you need support!
