Thanks Jay. "I tell myself to just let it flow, but that's exactly what happens, it flows." I can relate to that statement. For me, the meds create a "gap" in the barrage of thoughts/emotions where I can break free by simply going on to the next thing. Obsessions that would literally last weeks or even months now dissipate quickly. That's not me, that's the meds. My fear is that somehow I'll be separated from them and everything will come rushing back. It's amazing how these simple chemical reactions have such a profound impact on our lives.
Anyway, I am glad to be on this board and want to be as helpful as I can. We are all different as you said Jay, so not everything I say applies to everyone, but I would like to offer whatever support I can. OCD (mental illness) is needless suffering and we owe it to ourselves to try everything reasonable to have a good quality of life. Everyone of us here deserves that.
Best,
Mark
