I'm terrified of the number 3. I count the number of times I file one of my nails, the pumps from the shampoo bottle, etc. I think I need to up my dosage, lol. I used to have this EXACT issue with numbers. 3 was the worst, followed by 9. And denomination of either of those was bad. 4 and 8 were the 'best.' Even though 9x9 = 81, 81 was still bad b/c it 1. was an odd number and worst.. 2. 8+1 = 9 And my thoughts constantly went on like this. Everything I touched, I had to touch 'even' times for 'both sides.' One day, I decided that I was going to ignore it. It took a long time (a couple years) but I don't do it anymore. My best number is 4.

I don't know why, but I kind of clapped when I read that. has anyone heard of lorazepam? I've heard of it but I haven't tried it.

Way to go doc, thanks for making your patient feel like a mental case! Didn't even prescribe me anything.. Awe, I didn't even see that! It's okay! Health doctors really aren't supposed to prescribe anything other than the basics. Psychotherapy medicines take a lot more training and stuff, I think. IDK! But I know! I hope Luvox works for you!

Posts: 3538 (07/19/2008 1:38 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	Well if you can manage it without medicine you're fine..lol Obviously I can't! I get these panic attacks and shit.. It's like...why can't I just stop thinking about this thought? I know it's stupid....GUH! I tell my mom about all my thoughts and she said "it's okay...you'll be fine..." so that makes me feel better. I tell her everything that's going on so that helps. But I'll tell her a crazy thought I just had and she'll say "I can't imagine thinking that...." so that's not making me feel very good. I want to say to her "If you had OCD you would understand but you don't!" lol She DOES have OCD about washing her hands and bacteria though. She checks the locks on the doors sometimes. But that's not really BAD though. Her hands are bad from washing them so much. But it's not really destroying her life. lol

I guess, IDK. But anyway, ! Think of the positive. It's really good that you can talk to your mom about it. It's easier when you're not facing it alone, even if other people can't understand just what's going on in you... they at least know that something is.

My mom was never going to mention my problem to anyone in the family.. But I told her she could tell them if she wanted to. She ended up telling my sis in law.. and guess what?? My sis in law has weird thoughts too...She wanted to talk to me yesterday about all the weird stuff she's thought of since she was little and it's the same thing...I told her we need to go to a shrink together. lol So I could talk to her about all this stuff too!

She has kind of trained herself to think differently. But I don't have a job right now and I obviously can't go to school like this. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the work or anything.

Posts: 3542 (07/19/2008 4:31 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	Yeah that's the part that sucks. Whenever I was on my other antidepressants I would be like...emotionless.. I couldn't cry at anything. I felt like a jerk because everyone else was sad and I had no reaction. But I would rather be emotionless than deal with these thoughts/panic attacks though. My mom hates me when I'm not taking anything. LOL I get so grumpy and mad at everything.
