my life is perfect right now and because of that i cant enjoy it and constantly think of my biggest phobias and worries all day long that consume my days!! i was obssessing about my teeth which is a huge phobia for me so i went to the dentist to make sure theyre ok and they said nothing was wrong but i keep thinking what if they missed a tooth or didnt tell me the truth and now my mouth isnt right and its causing me to clench my teeth and jaw which is causing me mouth pain and then i try and associate it with these irrational thoughts!!! its like if my life isnt crappy i cant enjoy it! i am still on celexa and nothing else would help as i have tried that before! i just dont know why i cant enjoy what short life i have!

hi, i was diagnosed with ocd in jan 04 (had it since 03) and i know what you mean about everything being good around you but you cant enjoy it. Here is why i think that is...when everything is "good" we obsess about evrything because we get thoughts in our head like "things are too good right now, so something terrible must be around the corner" so we sit and "create" these problems in our minds....."good" is just never good enough.
i hope that made sence to you, i totally sympathize....if you need anything let me know

I can relate with both of you. This too happens with me, if everything is going well, I end up having an obsessing episode.. I create something to obsess on.
