OCD and social phobia.

[Dave]

Hi all,

I am new to the board. I suffer from OCD and social phobia. I have started some therapy recently. I get intrusive thought, anxiety and worry is with me each day. Anyone in a similar position?

yeah! i suffer from depression, panic anxiety, generalized anxiety, social phobia, a bad phobia of blood and deep wounds. I think i alos might suffer from OCD. i just mentioned it for my therapist last time i was there... i'm hoping to get more into that next time.

i have intrusive thought, wash my hands CONSTANTLY, i shower 1-4 times a day, have panic attacs (sometimes several times a day) and i feel anxious almost all the time. (a big ball of anxiety that lies in my chest) i also have problems breatheing at times.

do oyu feel like theraphy helps?

Similar, yeah.
Well, the "worry and anxiety" part, anyway.
