It is very wrong to avoid things that you fear. When you face your fear gradually it goes away in a matter of days. The more you immerse yourself in what you fear the sooner you get rid of the fear .
I used to be afraid that I would harm children . Now I have my own Smile

I totally got rid of my OCD. But I was very determined to do whatever I needed to do. And I read a lot about CBT.
CBT is the only thing that can cure it .

I am really sorry that I don't have much time to write more . There is hope, dont't listen to all the bad stories. The bad soried on the internet made me depressed when I had OCD . But there was one guy that kept saying that CBT can cure or almost cure OCD and that's how I started CBT.

Just one more thing : i have never taken any medication for OCD. So it is possible.

I can relate with you thinking you were posessed, ive been through that too. I Thought I had an evil spirit making me think these things and i was trying to fight it, this was before i realised i had OCD, such a scary thing when you don't feel like you have control of your own mind.

Ive been on prozac for 4 weeks now and the thoughts are getting better but still come, i am now waiting for a councelling session which ive been waiting for for about 5 weeks now since i first when to doctor sobbing and shaking after the horrible thoughts, he didnt have a clue what was wrong with me, which made me feel even more crazy and sent me into a deep state of depression and I hated myself!

I had to find my symptoms on the internet write down all i was going through and thinking then took them into the doctor and he said yeah you definately have OCD and put me on prozac. The thing is i just cant believe how little help you get from the nhs, i hate to think of other people out there thinking theyre going crazy and not getting the help they need!
