Hi new here

[Chihuahuashy]

Hi everyone,

I am Chihuahuashy i am a 29 yr old lesbian female who suffers from OCD,anxiety,depression,agoraphobia other health conditions including ME/CFS:weep:

I have suffered from Ocd for a long time since early childhood.

My Ocd affects & has affected me in so many different ways including.

Fear of contamination,hand washing, intrusive thoughts,counting, repeating certain words in my head,checking rituals,self grooming/care rituals to name a few there are more but i would be here for some time lol.

I have had treatment cbt, councelling etc prescribed anti-depressants.
I ve had much more than my fair share of treatment so i've been told which didn't help & made me worse.

Just lately my Ocd has really become bad and i believe i ve become seriously depressed.

I hardly eat,really poor sleep, don't go out unless i have to, just want to be alone & pushing everyone away.

2008 was the worst year ever for me.

I believe that the many stressful things that happened to me have caused my ocd go way out of control.

Also it is very difficult having other health conditions like ME/CFS with ocd as no one takes you seriously especially doctors they just blame everything on the ocd mental health:mad:

I was physically assaulted by my ex girlfriend, and over the years we were togther mentally abused, riddiculed & made fun of also she had a temper then she cheated on me with a bloke then left me for him after us being together for 9 years:weep:

I am really finding things difficult at the moment i dont know what to do or where to turn.There are so many things bothering at the moment but i think i leave it here for now.

Kind regards

Chihuahuashy
