"I have suffered from strokes or TIA's and most of us with MM suffer from them" (Azraway)

MDJunction to me

liamacker"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

I have never been diagnosed but I think that I may have OCD. I always have a struggle with things that I have no control over. The first thoughts of this stem from the last 6 months of my marraige when my ex wife would always take off to hang out with a friend. I had no control over her doing that and no matter how hard I tried, she would still leave. This brought on my depression that lasted for several months.

I am having a hard time right now in my current relationship. My girlfriend is the love of my life and also has OCD and likes to have control of things, so I have ceded control of our relationship to her as I do not want to be confrontational with her. But I fear that I obsess over her when I am not with her or do not hear from her. That is not far to her or our relationship. My obsession with my girlfriend and her various health issues actually has brought on depression again that has been going for about 6 months. I do not blame her for the depression, I blame myself.

Do I need to seek advise from a doctor for this?

If it is worth having, it is worth fighting for.

Namaste!

It does sound like you are experiencing some anxiety as well as some trust issues. the anxiety could be ocd related but it could also fall under another spectrum of anxiety. many anxiety conditions tend to mimic ocd so I would advize seeking the advice of a doctor. he or she will ask you alot of questions and develop an evaluation on you. the more you supply of yourself the more they can learn about you and come up with an accurate diagnosis. This would be the first step i would advize. I would also bring up the depression with your doctor. it may also be related to anxiety or it could be a condition on its own. it is known that depression can be a common condition with anxiety so the doc will want to make sure. if it is related to anxiety he or she will prescribe something and then work with you on dealing with the underlying anxiety issues.

Namaste!

Thank you for your advise, I have an appointment with my doctor in two weeks. She has treated my depression since I have had it, I just didn't realize my anxiety until recently. My doctor is great and I am sure she will be able to help. Thanks again.
