Psychiatrist says I have OCD and my depression seems to be situational. I need to learn other coping skills so that I can get beyond this. He says my therapist is the best and that they will discuss my file every 2 weeks. He says that I don't need to see him on a regular basis.

I will work with my therapist and see what happens from there.

Hi Wildcat,

My OCD (which I fgured I had and joked about for many years) is mainly a control issue house has to be clean and everything in its place, plan the majority of things, don't touch me unless I know you, that is why I can't take public transit, strange people are always touching you. As I age, I have found that I can let a few things go, but when things are way out of control I seem to spiral in to chaos and think that I cannot get out. Strange as this sounds, I used to go to friends' and family homes and not be able to sit until the areas we were in were clean (I would clean them). I am now able to go to friends' homes and sit on my hands. I cannot do this at my mom's as her place is the worst place ever, so I just don't go there, because it is expected that I clean when I am there.

I think this is crazy, but the Psychiatrist said that my plans and thoughts of the big "S" word, were part of the OCD and that is my coping mechanism for out of control situations, make the plan and put it away. I am not sure, but hey, he has the degree, I don't.

As for the migraines, I have had them all my life as well, tried this, that and the other thing. Well since I was 30 I found out alot of the pain killers I had been given could have and should have killed me (the heart conditions), so now I am limited to what I can take. So T-4's and sleeping pills, a dark room and a million quilts is all I have left.

Custody battle, it was more or less, you take the kids, I don't want the kids you take the kids, fine I'll take the kids, no you won't I'll take the kids, back and forth back and forth around and around. Thankfully for my sister, (who is older than I am) she chooses not to remember anything, but me, I remember everything from seeing the slug fests between my parents when I was 3 years old up to the bull and doggy show of late (thankfully with my cocktail of medications, I cannot remember what I had for supper last night and if I don't write down appointments, I won't remember them, ah ignorant bliss).

I am on the Provincial Health Plan for people with low incomes and high medical needs, they don't cover the accupuncture, osteopaths, or other things. I can't afford to pay out of pocket for these things either so I am kind of stuck as to alternatives. If I work more, I make more money, I have less time to get family stuff done, go to doctors, therapists etc. May not qualify for the Health Benefits, which I desparately need as my heart medications alone are around $200.00 per month, this doesn't include, pain killers for either myself or my husband, anti-depressants or sleep medications blah, blah, blah. So catch 22.

To get it out, feels a little better, but it seems to be the same old same old, obssessing about the problem and not getting anything resolved.

Did you know?

Sorry Karen,

I am going to now ask you to do a little homework for me. How many studies? Out of these studies, how many people had negative reactions and what were the reactions? Out of all the people who were to partake in the studies, how many were bumped, because they did not fit the "fitness freaks" guidelines (ie. people who genuinely do not like exercise/sweating etc)? How many of these studies were performed by exercise freaks?

I cannot trust the studies without more information as I am paranoid, not delusional, because no-one ever answers my questions, such as the ones above. I keep hearing, shut up and do it but I need answers and valid reasons other than "studies show".

I can do a study that shows that physical activity is bad for you because it makes you cry and crying leads to depression and causes pain which is associated with depression, and can cause heart attacks which is associated with depression and causes hunger which is associated to eating which is associated to over-eating, which is associated to obesesity which is associated to depression and so on and so on. But no-one is going to fund this because money goes to the people with the same belief system as the government/professionals/people with money. It doesn't go to those who could really use the money.

Sorry Karen,

One last thing, did you know that the leading cause of death in the world today is not suicide, cancer, obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc. it is being born. So you have no choice about being born, so you should educate yourself as much as possible with real facts from both sides of the coin in order to make informed decisions on how you live your life and not to just follow blindly because a study says so.

List of Good Things That Have Happened Recently

Hi everyone,

I met with the Pdoc (I know what that means now). That's all I will say about that because as the wheels get to turning everything turns upside down.

Now let's see good things, I didn't have a headache yesterday, first time in a long time. It was a balmy +12 yesterday, the sun was shining and the world looked cheery.

Take care everyone and hope to hear from you soon.

Wildcat,

I read what you quoted, wow, but where is the other side? I am still only being shown only one side.

Sorry, just looking for completion, not more questions.

Thank you Wildcat, as always you are very helpful, I will look into these sites.

I have been trying it their way, exercise and change of diet for the past 2 years, with more depression, more health problems, more medications and more distaste and anger for not being given honest answers to valid questions. Like how much and how long do you have to suffer through the awful effects of further depression, further exhaustion, constant pain, stomach problems (related to when I eat bran and whole grains) before a doctor will say whoa this obviously isn't working for you. I just keep hearing do it, do it, do it.

Rosie, Thank you for the website, I will check it out, my google works fine, it doesn't always come up with what others come up with or maybe I don't think to type it how others would. I don't think in the abstract, I think in black and white, I would never have thought to put in exercise causes depression, I type in exercise depression (not the same results)

I am not lazy, I get off my butt every day, I go to work, I work my butt off, I come home and cook and clean and take care of my family. I take care of my disabled husband, I ensure that everything that needs to get done, gets done.

I again apologize for discomfort, pain or other maladies my posts may cause. I understand my bluntness may be upsetting and may come off as being mean-spirited or otherwise not very nice.

Rosie, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a doll, I love you.

It is nice to know that I am not the only one out there who experiences what I experience. I will definitely try some of the techniques suggested on the forum of the website (albeit with my doctors permission of course).

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Woohoo, finally some answers, and new things to try.
