Hey everyone. I have had OCD since December 2004 and I was on Zoloft from January 05 till June of this year and since I Was on it, the OCD was almost non existent. Well I went off it in JUne becuase I thought I could handle any more spikes and I have been doing really good. Then all of a suddon, out of no where It just hit me hard again. I suffer from Pure-O and just have violent thoughts and urges. (this time its about my dogs) Now in my almost 4 years having OCD I have never acted on them and I know I wont but I have this huge anxiety attack that make me cold and sweaty and it just feels like I can act out on these urges. But I know I Cant, so then why doesnt the feeling go away?? I started back on Zoloft 2 days ago and now I have to wait before it starts to kick in again but this really sucks. Can anyone say anything to help?

Have you ever had Relaxation Training? I had it in the 70's. It's not a cure, but it could help you through the next 2 weeks or so. Maybe ask your doctor where you can get this, or maybe there are books on it.
Try to picture yourself 2 weeks from now without the OCD.

What is your lifestyle like? Do you just work and come home everyday is there any physical activity that your participate in? It sound like you have alot of **** just pent up in you. So when it builds then you just want to snap. You know men are very physical beings, and this modern life where we sit down in most of our jobs we don't get everything we need as humans. It's like a dog who's owner never walks them, they just get out of control eventually. The dog needs to run and play and then it's like a whole different animal, it's just happy. People aren't much different. Have you tried running, or boxing, or biking something that will challenge your mind and body at the same time. Physical activities like long runs, biking 10 miles or boxing are very intense on the mind a body, and I think you'll find that while doing these things you working too hard to let other things bother you, and once your finished, your body will be so relaxed that your dogs and everything else won't trip you up so much. The mind are body both have to be in shape to operate correctly. You'll find when your body is right your mind will follow. Give it a try, and see if it helps. What can it hurt.

What about old-fashioned prayer?
