> I don't know about the prozac, but I do know how you feel. Sounds like me when I'm shopping and I start to wonder if I should buy "x". I start a whole thought circus of how much is it, how much do I have, do we need it (we do), is it a good idea, what will my husband say, should I buy it. Sometimes I have to pack up and come home!
OCD is indeed a devastating disease. It has torn apart my youth and adult life so many times. I got it when I was 14. It was only after 2 months of intense prayer that God healed me. At that time, I took no medication, no CBT and no natural therapy whatsoever at all. Only prayer. I'm convinced that there is a living God.

> It's good to talk about it though, if I would describe my specific obsessions and compulsions, sometimes that would decrease the intensity of the next one. Not so with the shopping though!Everyone seems to be 'crazy' here but we are still sane people as we know these thoughts are absolutely out of the normal spectrum! This is totally bizarre. Could it be due to the influence of some supernatural evil forces inside our mind? We don't know yet. Could it be that the supernatural force upset our serontonin system as well? I mean, by treating our serontonin system, we may get it balanced, but still not rid ourselves of some evil.

> I also found a mantra helpful. Sometimes I say "It's not me, it's the OCD" a few times. And asking myself "Does it really matter?". Sometimes yes, sometimes know.Did you get this verse from a book called "Brain lock?" Inside the book there's this verse as well.

So altogether what kind of medication are you on now? How many percent have you recovered?
How's your relationship with your husband, family etc.>
