WTF is wrong with me?/voices in my head

[~HOUNDOG~]

Okay,I am pretty sure I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder),but I have to do stupid shit,or I think something bad will happen. It is so fucking annoying,for instance,if i dont place a cup in a certain spot voices will be telling me to do it and I try to ignore them but give in because of fears of bad things happening.
I am on paxil,but it does not help. It can get pretty intense,especially before I go to bed. Can anyone relate?

Damn. I used to be like that. I still am, but not near anything that bother's me too much. When I say bye to someone any of my family member's in my head, I have to say a phrase 3 times over and over again. That's pretty much it now. My sister was much worse than me growing up. Tap things three times, take 3 little steps before stepping from tile to carpet, turn the shower off and on 3 times... that was the best one. Cuz she tried to hide it, like we all do.

Fuck Paxil. Face your fear. Once you do, you'll be able to put that coffee cup wherever the fuck you want. I used to be such a fucking worry wart. You have to realize it's all in your mind. It's (the coffee cup) obviously an unrelated circumstance to something 'bad happening.' You need to let your subconscious
realize this.

Meditate before you go to bed. That may help.

That's exactly what I am talking about,if I don't do it, will think I will go to sleep and wake up blind. Fucking scary

Try reality. KNOW you will not go blind. See if the fear is a reasonable one and blow the fucker off. Like if you think you'll die running a red light, don't run it, that a possibility. If you think you'll die if you brush your teeth, brush them and don't die.

 

[danielson]

go see a doc

what do the voices tell you to do?

Exactly! DOG... You've got to face your fears. You hear that phrase all the time. Like Kahn said, once you do and you wake up in the morning still able to see, you've faced your fear, and won't have to worry about it anymore. Then you can move on to your next fear. Paxil my ass. It can't teach your brain what it needs to know. Only you can, by facing, dealing, and overcoming your fear.

I do that sometimes yet I STILL worry,just as much as before.
That is the problem.

haha, I can totally relate. I laugh because in reality you (or at least I) know that things such as putting a cup in a certain spot really don't dictate the way my life will go. Then on the other hand, it's just a "feeling" you have where you've got to do that certain something to feel right.

It's hard to explain, but I know just what you mean. I've never heard voices though....do you mean you really hear voices telling you to do stuff?

I'd definitely go see a doc about this since it seems to be having a negative effect on you. I've been like this ever since I was in like 2nd or 3rd grade. Thankfully though it's never gotten to the point where it's taking over parts of my day.

Well fuck man. I'm not a doctor, but you should definately go see someone that is.

I have a problem with looking in the mirror and hearing "You're too small you pussy!" Then I say "Well fuck YOU!" and they say "No fuck YOU! " "Fuck ME??!?!? NO FUCK YOU!!!!" "Fuck us???? Fuck US?!? Are you FUCKING CRAZY?" "Well no shit I'm fucking crazy motherfucker I'm hearing these fucking voices in my head and if you don't fucking stop I..

At this point I normally get bored of arguing with myself so I just go engage in autoerotica or something similar with my neighbor's parakeet.

 

[FarBeyondDriven]

But do you see dead people?

 

[~HOUNDOG~]

no but maybe the PCP is causing this?
I use it 4-6x weekly,It's a bad habit,but maybe it is the problem...

 

[Frackal]

You ARE kidding right? lol ??

 

[Lao Tzu]

isn't that another symptom of anxiety, a condition you already know you have (feeling the urge to do irrational things, etc).


why not see a doc. they may give you something for your anxiety (if that is the cause). buspar, klonopin, xanax, etc.
