Now that I've read your post more carefully, Arabella, it sounds like you've done a LOT of work. I commend you on your self-discovery; those issues are not easy to confront in yourself and it requires true cojones to look at yourself and break through your "victim" armor to see that you may have, in fact, been harsh and nasty to others. Sounds like you are well on the path of "growing up" that we all should navigate (not everyone does, lamentably) at some point in our lives, though surprisingly many of us don't tackle that journey until we are in our thirties or later.
Sounds like you are just very sensitive to the side effects of SSRI's, to the point of not eating. They exert only a mild appetite-suppressant effect on most of us.
Is there not another medication unrelated to SSRI's that could help with OCD etc., without causing sexual, appetite, agitation, and sleep disturbance side effects? Anyone know?
ANYONE????
