    Oh tracy your question "Does the anti depressants,anti psycotics and anti anxiety medication curb this or worsen it."

    the meds are entirely capable of doing either.

    "I feel like something bad will happen to me or someone else." I get this alot.......Iv been worried for about the last 4 years that I may be paranoid.....to be honest

    although that thought was shot down in flames they told me it is only paranoia if it is unjustified.....unfortunately I always turn out to be right. so apparently im not paranoid.

    I have mild OCD. Sometimes it has to do with having objects placed a certain way or I feel like something bad will happen to me or someone else. Or I may have to reppeat a phrase over and over in my head until it ends "right". It's something annoying but I have been able to put up with. If I am undergoing a particularly rough time with my anxiety or worry it worsens the OCD behavior. When I am feeling good, secure, happy,about  95% of the symptoms of OCD disappear.

    Hi everyone! I wasdiagnosed with Severe OCD. I was on 80 mg of fluoxetine and also had klonopin on hand incase of a panic attack. I just recently weened off my medicine this past January because my husband and I are trying to have a baby and I was nervous of being on medication while being pregnant. I am nervous though that my OCD may come back when I get pregnant due to hormones going crazy and everything.

    everyone is a little OCD :) we build habit out of compulsion, lol or compulsion out of habit, how healthy it is for us depends on how we use it, CBT can help you  turn the compulsions into something which can help you function.

    Does the anti depressants,anti psycotics and anti anxiety medication curb this or worsen it.  Some days I just can't stop myself even though I am aware what I am doing.  My chest is tight and I forget to breath as I scurry about doing 10 thinks at once around the house (some ridiculous things I must say sometimes).

    Could you shed some light on this.  Sometimes the OCD causes the anxiety or maybe it's the anxiety causing the OCD which could be causing the mood swings and anger and depression and on and on and on .   What came first?
