> hello scott. my name is emilio and i suffer from ocd. my ocd was(is) about me. observing myself tinking about myself.is this similar to your case. what medication help you better? ciao and tanks emilio
No, not really. I wasn't so much "watching" my thoughts, but "observing" the world from above as if I were an alien from outer space.
Medication can only help if it is a good match for your psychobiology. Intense psychotherapy would be needed as well. Even with your OCD, you might be able to reintegrate yourself with the rest of the world. You might instead have OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder), which is an Axis II disorder. It is probably most treatable using psychotherapy.
Before commenting any further, I would like you to explain what other thoughts or issues or rituals you have that would help discriminate between OCD and OCPD.
