Hi all,I stumbled upon this website yesterday.I have been looking for someone that would relate to my problem & never found anyone/anything?I have OCD of being obsessed with swallowing & mouth(as if there is something I need to watch).It started in 2006 while I was pregnant with my first baby,I had heartburn that i was trying to overcome by swallowing & it just got hooked,never went away,causing me tremendous torture,anxiety panic etc.I even had suicidal thoughts just to get away from it.I went on zoloft just for 3 months& stayed with family ..suffered the entire pregnancy.The problem magically went away,I had another baby,was diagnosed & treated for thyroid cancer in 2008 but nothing i couldn't cope with. & the ocd returned after 3 years in 2009 when I recieved radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid cancer & had to be in isolation at a hotel since i have small kids & couldn't be around them.So got medications & therapy & again I recovered..& this time again i made a mistake of discontinuing my meds again last year in december...did fine without it for a year & now I am having a full blown relapse.Going back to meds now & hoping it will go away just like before.Until then ,I feel like I am in hell..I hope you all can understand & relate somewhat..thanks for reading this far.:weep:
