Hello all. I am slightly disheartened as I wrote a very long intro and then as a went to send it said there was a problem and I went back and my message had gone! So now I am going to try again...It may not be written so well as it took a lot outta me![Sigh...]
So Hi I am relatively new to this site. I went in the chatroom a few times but from what I understand there were some problems?[?] I found it very interesting and helpful so I was wondering if it is alright to use again?[?] Anyway I decided I should introduce myself properly, even though it is scary writing down your problems at first.
I suffer from OCD, anxiety and sometimes I think and feel I could be sinking into depression. Of course one perpetuates the other. The more anxious I am the worse my OCD gets, as I have to so rituals to help my anxiety, and the worse my OCD is the more anxious I become about doing it so much! I could date back my OCD. I have had significant loss and some problems in my life and I am still quite young. However I can not attribute all my anxiety to these things as I have always been an anxious person..(or should I say I am a person who is temporarily suffering from anxiety (re-training thought patterns an all that!!;))) I really don’t know how temporary it is though! I have had OCD for 10 years, which obviously linked to anxiety but I feel in general anxiety has got worse in the last year or two. Ill give you an example...I worry to stupid extents about annoying people, I will get myself into a state and then when I know their not I can relax. That is just one example.
I am a university student and when I was in college I was an insomniac for a while...[|)]I still find it difficult to sleep sometimes but not to that extent. I haven’t ever been to see a gp or counsellor as I don’t really want to talk about some things and I know it sounds silly but one of my anxieties is speaking to a counsellor or something. Its just such a big thing to do even though it is probably a good idea. So I have never been on medication. I think I would prefer to solve these issues without them. I dunno. I have found this site a great comfort. Most people see me as happy go lucky and confident even though inside I’m not. They don’t see my anxious side... (I don’t mind them not seeing the anxious me at all!!). I have a great bunch of mates but I don’t think they can truly understand if they have never suffered from it. Some know about my OCD etc but not to what extent and how much it upsets me. I don’t suffer from panic attacks even though I have been near. I tend to just think and think, I don’t just randomly have attacks.
Anyway as you can tell by the name I get paranoid and now I think I am rambling too much so I am going to go.
I would just like to thank to administrators for the site and all their hard work.
Hi everyone, Take care
