No I have never been diagnosed with OCD. Basically, I have suffered from panic attacks, phobias flying. In public restrooms, on the way outI would open the door by pulling my shirt over my hands to protect me from germs. I used to find being in a group of people (3&up)agonizing. Also since I was 7-8 I constantly worried that I was breaking some religious rule, and commiting terrible sins. I don't think thats possible in childhood. I also worried constantly about dying. I would have the thought that I would be better off dead. This last one was so much a part of me that I didnt think of it as being abnormal. since I never acted on it. After about 3 months of being on AD I realized that I was no longer having any of these feelings/thought. (almost) I still am terrified of flying and being in social situations does not make me that nervous, I just feel uncomfortable about not talking as much as the others and what are they thinking of me, Since I have started taking the Wellbutrin, I find myself talking to people a little more and I feel more motivated to do things. It has only been 7 days so It may take a bit longer. I also noticed that I am sleeping better maybe because I am more active during the day. By the way Ed I truly appreciate your input and I am sure that plays a part in how I am feeling.
Thanks
Ray
