Sup guys been a while since I posted but Im happy to say im making progress towards overcoming this whole ordeal. The ocd that Ive been struggling with has diminished signifigantly thanks to pure willpower and better thinking. There are still some things that I need to work on but all in all im happy with the progress and see it continuing to improve as time goes by. The thing with ocd that Ive realized for myself is you have to make a consiese effort for a while to recognize when an obessive though comes to mind but do not get attached to it or dwell on it. Then eventually the thought passes. As time goes by it has almost become second nature where these thoughts are not even coming to mind.
As for the other part of my struggle social anxiety, I believe it can be partly helped through self effort, but there is also a chemical componant to it that must be adressed with medication, nardil in my case. When I was on nardil before I had really good relief sometimes 100% remission depending on the dose. Life was great for those 7 months. Now after almost 2 years of suffering my psychiatrist finally feels comfortable with me going back on it. However when she popped the question last week I told her to wait until I lose more weight. See Im afraid of becoming fat on nardil. Has anyone lost weight while on nardil? And does the nardil make it harder to lose weight or is it just as easy as long as u got the right diet and exercise routine? I think next time I go to my pdoc Im gona ask her to start me on it in 2 weeks. I just feel like nows the time, Ive been struggling for long time now , and need relief. I figure as long as I dont eat the wrong things and have a solid exercise routine I wont have to worry about weight. One of the question I have for the nardil experts(Jedi in particular) is how do you feel about taking unisom with nardil for sleep? I read online on another forum from a guy who was having great success with nardil that it works great in combination with melatonin but wanted to run it by you guys to see what you think. If youve read up to this point I salute you and wish you much happiness, please reply to my post thankyou.
