health ocd

Hi guys its great to find a group of people who feel the same way and understand. My doctor diagnosed me two years ago I'm now 24. He prescribed me with prozac but I didn't like taking it so I stopped. Friends and family don't understand the severity of it. I speand my days shining torches in my mouth looking at marks or anything out of the ordinary. I google something and next minute I've diagnosed myself with aids or cancer. For the past ten years I've been thinking I have HIV but too scared to get tested. My ocd has caused me to leave jobs and not get out of bed in the morning. I dunno how to take control over it the only time I'm happy and myself is when I'm drunk.

How long did you take the prozac for. Did it not help at all.

Hi Tanya I took it for two months. I had booked to go back a few weeks ago but never showed up. I had a small lump on my testicle two years ago which I had a scan on and came back clear but its a little bigger now and I'm terrified its cancer and has spread all over my body because its been there so long.

You need to go get checked for piece of mind. I doubt it cancer be strong and go.

Best of luck.

So you are alf medicating  with alcohol. I certainly get that but be very careful.. Most alcoholics got that way through a  desparate need to feel ok. Maybe talk to to your doctor give controlled meds a nother chance. Alcohol has uncontrolled  consequences and that in itself can dramtically effect your health. 

Hi! If yu had it scanned and it ws ok, then it is ms likely still ok. Even benign growths can and do get bigger somtimes. If your physician would havehad even and inkling of a concern he/she would have removed it. Go get it checked for yourpeace of min and even have it removed regardless of what it is. That way it's gone and yo never have toeven think about it again. Please post the good news when you get it checked!

Klas,

You can take control..all the medications prescribed have limitations , the real solution is within yourself. look at yourself in the mirror and start believing in yourself, What you are experiencing is nothing more than transposition of a real issue into some type of imaginary medical condition, that you obviously dont have but get you sufficiently distracted so you dont face your real issues.

So basically you can solve this problem, the drugs are only temporary they are not a cure
