Your #1 Fan, I have been reading your posts now for a while and I haven't responded before now not because I dont care but because you have gotten loads of good information and I am not a meds expert but one thing that I would like to add before you dx yourself OCD based on focus. I would submit focus is hard for all of us with depression but on the public at large. I don't know what year you are in at college but my daughter is at college, she is a sophomore and is a double major with a minor and taking 18 hours so she had loaded herself up and has no depression at all. (I am glad of that) She has a seizure disorder that is under control right now thank god she is on meds for but she has begun to taper herself off with neuro's blessing. She is doing well in spite of large load. She says she has a hard time focusing. We talked about it because I was complaining about her 15 year old brother. My son has focus issues but not bad enough to see a doctor for. I have thought about it and I think society has made it hard. That isn't to excuse you but to tell you that maybe with all the anxiety in your life you are really being hard to find a answer when it is a complex problem and forcing more pressure on yourself and causing more anxiety.
I think you need to take some deep breathes. Call the doc like was suggested. Maybe your xanux (mspelled) has pooped out, and you need a new emergency med but I really feel you have reached a state that you are causing anxiety due to anxiety. I know that I have panic attacks and GAD and I understand how it all works. Mine is under control for now but the triggers lurk everywhere. So if you are bi-polar or ADHD or OCD is really isn't important to the state of your current anxiety for now and that is where you need to deal with to get it reduced to a level where you can function and then work on your DX and therapy and the next level. OK. I worry about you blowing up your mind in the figurative as you seem to reaching a level of anxiety that is hard on your system. So please take care of yourself. You have to do this for yourself. Take care, slow down for a second and relax, reduce your stress and anxiety so you can calm yourself.......you are going be ok. You are a good person with loads of anxiety and I am sorry your friends don't take this serious but don't mind what anyone else thinks just take it easy, baby steps and give that doc or er a call or visit, get some immediate relief and go from there. ok....rk
