I'm doing 23 things
Got diagnosed properly
2 years ago
After 16 years suffering from depression and the most terrible OCD I was finally diagnosed properly and given the proper medication. I remember the day my brain STOPPED obsessing. It was quiet ‘in there’. I cried. I slept without drugs, I actually fell asleep without obsessing.
Now 18 months down the track I still sometimes have to talk myself down off the ledge if you know what I mean. I am reducing my medication slowly, slowly…....I knwo I will always be ill but I know I can control it through drugs, Cognitive Skills Training and positive self talk.
I wish I had got better sooner. I have had a shit time with the obsessive stuff.
Lots of love
Marian
