I don’t feel like my treatment plan is working

My medication doesn’t do anything. I feel like crying a lot, I get self-harmful more often to the point where I went out of my way to buy a knife that is extremely sharp to replace the one I was convinced to throw out, this mood stabilizer doesn’t stabilize my mood, I injured myself from doing my obsessive-compulsion too much (and the swelling and pain’s getting worse yet I can’t rest because I have to do it), I’m having a lot of sleep problems and slept through a whole class this week as well as got to two separate lectures 30 minutes late from oversleeping plus I was gonna take a nap from 1 to 3:30 pm today with an alarm but woke up at 7 pm instead with it turned off and no memory of how, I can’t do my fucking makeup because I keep oversleeping every day, I keep freaking out over all the homework that’s due and struggling to maintain my 3.0 GPA so I don’t get put on probation (hey I got a 95% on my Frankfurt argument summary so I’m happy about that), I’m heartbroken and fucking angry at Elliot who doesn’t act like he appreciates me yet I invest so much in him, and my romantic and sexual needs are not being met, BUT I don’t have suicidal thoughts. And my psychiatrist won’t do anything because of that. I might have to lie to her so she’ll do something more significant than just put the dose up. I don’t like this medication period. I’ve been taking it for 3 and a half months, I think.

Also, my new therapist doesn’t help me at all because I guess she’s still learning about me idk. I don’t feel helped when I leave there. The meetings are way too short too. The Counseling Center at my college doesn’t help either. Hell, my high school therapist was 100% better although the Counseling Center is much more available.

Also, the forced hospitalization cost my parents a ton because apparently the ambulance was out of network so I feel so guilty.

I miss my therapists that actually know me and help me like Mandy and Kalan and Mr. Cohen. It feels like the only one I regularly talk with who actually helps me is my girlfriend, @clooo. Also, I haven’t gotten high or drunk in 3 weeks, and I’m kinda annoyed about that. Edit: now I’m a little tipsy. It makes doing my compulsion much more fun. Eh, the taste of alcohol is so, SO bad that I couldn’t get drunk if I wanted to. Unless it’s a screwdriver, I would actually drink that. I had one once; it was good.

Have you tried a medication specifically for the ocd? And have you tried working with a clinic that uses interns, that's what schools usually have.

@HannahSky Well, that’s something my therapist would do more so than Renata. But my therapist isn’t that helpful so far.

You should talk about changing your medication and demand to get the feeling of being helped

@SW-User I will :(
