dont know how to cope anymore

[dange]

Hi guys,

I've suffered from OCD for 10 years now, i get thoughts to harm myself, which were mainly under control until recently, when they have turned into really bad urges. I'm absolutely terrified of myself because i used to self harm and i dont know what i'd do if i started again, but the urges are so strong. This is causing me to sink into a depression where i am left feeling "whats the point". I've just switched medication from citalopram to clomipramine (starting tonight) but i'm just really scared that its gona get worse.

Dannii,

I had five very good years on clomipramine. I used to self-harm regularly a while back but on clomipramine it only happened once, at a time when I had begun to feel the drug wasn't working for me AND as a response to something very specific that happened which upset me a great deal.

I don't suffer from OCD but it is supposed to be good for that - hope it works for you.
