Just for a moment of reality

@PepsiColaP I thought that a few times, but it must be the mildest case ever. I do double check locks but I don't count or anything. It's just a self soothing thing I do. Now that I think about it, it is a texture thing. If I even feel the slightest bit of lifted skin it has to come off and I try to smooth it. Obviously that's unrealistic

@HellsBelle ocd comes in many forms,sometimes it's not Abt double checking or counting at all. Have seen a psych yet?

@PepsiColaP No...but I go to a meds doc at a "mental health" center. They just don't "shrink" me. I thought with enough of my research that I could basically figure it out. I originally wanted to be a psychiatrist myself. I thought I knew the meds that worked.

@HellsBelle fk that ,see a shrink

@PepsiColaP Have you? Is it worth it? They would just tell me to breathe, drink tea, focus on the "5 senses" during a panic attack, get sun, and avoid stress if I can. I do that already.

@HellsBelle no that's what a psychologist does , a shrink is a doctor ,they can properly diagnose u and treat you based on that. Mines saved my life aftr many mental health nurses gps psychologists meds etc

@PepsiColaP oh ok. do you know what term I google? psychologist or whatever? I know not all of them give meds. I think psychiatrists do?

@HellsBelle psychiatrist,a psychologist will only do behavioural therapies which are a bit of a joke ,to address a behaviour and not what causes that behaviour but anyway . Look for a psychiatrist that specializes in maybe anxiety disorders ,ocd ,etc
