    Hi all,

    I have obsessive compulsive disorder for real. I say for real because some people can say they're ocd but they don't actually have ocd. So I just wondered if any of you have it,too and what you go thru with it if so. Mine is more mild but it bothers me sometimes. Of course I hate it.



    Peace,
    Michelle

    I have a pretty severe case of it though it has gotten slightly better in recent years. Mine is mostly obsessional I don't have as much trouble with compulsion as some OCs. Harm obsessions were always my big problem I had those since I was little. Thats just been something I've had to learn to live with over the years.

    I used to be on Zoloft for it but it wasn't doing much good so I stopped taking it. I recently found out I'm borderline bi polar and zoloft isn't good for you if you're bi polar.

    I'm not taking anything now, I seem to be doing about the same without the med as I did with it.

    So how about you Michelle, what struggles have you faced with OCD? You'll find a lot of symathetic voices here on the MH board if you'd like to eleaborate on your story.
