is this ocd or is it anxiety , or something else, any help would be great

Alright, It started over the last girl i was in a serious relationship, and what happened was she left for the fact that I was going to a different college and nothing was talked about or anything as to why she suddenly just called it quits. It was about 2-3 weeks or so of being really depressed and my heart had a really sharp pain in it, kind of like when you feel nervous but about 50 times more painful, I honestly couldnt sleep because how painful it felt, it hit me like a ton of bricks and I had no clue what to do, then one night I laid there wondering if I had to change to get her back, I just all of a sudden went hey, how are you breathing with out focusing on it, then I started putting focus on my tongue and mouth movements, Now all of a sudden it seems like my eyes are my mouth and tongue since all my focus is there, I dont act the same, Ive lost alot of friends and feel like I have no emotions, Its constantly me feeling my mouth is wrong or in the wrong position, well its almost been a year since this started and now I feel it just comes natural for me to adjust/focus on my lips and tongue and every thing always tenses up, I cant access my train of though and Im getting really sick and tired about it, Ive gone to therepy probably about 10-20 times and therepy makes me feel really good about my self, but only when Im there, I know ive gotten alot better, I used to feel third person alot and every thing around me didnt feel real at all, now I cant keep all my focus on daily life and whats around me and react to it. I feel like I when I talk to some one, I figure the shortest easiest answer as quick as possible and then focus on my mouth while im saying it.

WHHHAAAT CANNN I DO?!?!?!?!

MEDS ARE NOT AN OPTION because I choose not to, so please no suggestions of going on meds

ANY OTHER INFO WILL HELPFUL!!!

From my experences and knowledge, I never heard of an OCD case like yours. It sounds like you started off with anxiety and Panic attacks after depression, and then your mind dissociated into something else. Something to keep your mind occupied.

If you can, can you see a Psychiatrist? Not to recieve meds (because I don't think you need any), but to get a diagnosis and tests to render what is happening.

It sounds like it started with a relationship you didn't want to quit. Possibly an attathment problem or even some traumatic stress.

Therapy does help, and I'm glad it helps you. So keep on that, but have you talked about what is happening and why? She may reffer you to a Psychological Diagnostition.

Best of luck to you.

no what I was saying is therapy only felt like it helped when I was there

Not after

I went for 4 months and saw no big improvement, Today honestly had to be the hardest day, I was so focused on my mouth that honestly I felt like I had nothing to live for because It feels like Im never gonna get over it, Its almost been a year I NEED HELP!! Please can someone give me some techniques or something to work on??

It sounds like OCD to me. I have had obsessions with breathing, blinking, and swallowing. I just bought the book "Freedom From Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" by Jonathon Grayson. The book has many solutions for OCD without medication. As a matter of fact, the book lists "awareness of normal body functioning" such as breathing as a symptom of OCD. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I've had obsessions about bodily functions too. In fact, my first big O was related to my eyesight.
