I can relate. It is very tough, and you are not alone. This is so difficult at times that your question seems an obvious one to ask. Just know that you are not alone. I think what people need to understand, is that OCD is debilitating in many ways. It takes away your joy, and you feel that while you could be making a difference you are living in fear and doubt instead. To me it feels like it's own hell. Just stay positive and know that you can only take things one day at a time.

Re: does anyones ocd get so bad they dont want to be here anymore?

Just wanted to give alittle support. Always remember that you are not alone. There are so many of us that understand what you are going through. I also wanted to comment on the meds question. I have been taking Luvox for about a year. It helped a bit, but still had tons of anxiety. Didn't like taking xanax much because it makes me real tired and I have three little ones to run after. Anyway, about two months ago, I went to the doctor and instead of increasing my dose of Luvox, the doctor decided to suppliment it with another medication. So, I started taking Effexor, and it has made a world of difference. Not only does it help to release from the thoughts, it also helps level out my anxiety. And, I didn't realize it before, but once starting the combination of the two meds, I must have been mildy depressed. I feel alot better. Not that I don't have rough days, but nothing like it was before. I can go a week without much more than an hour or two of obsessing rather than two or more hours a day. Just thought I would share that. Both of the meds made me quite tired when I first started them. But, I stuck it out for a couple weeks, and don't feel it much now. Take care...
Carla
