these are all great responses to my obsessive, relentless question. i don't normally question this, but right now my OCD is kicking my butt and this question won't leave my mind. last night i felt fine when i went to sleep - very calm, content, actually ate something for dinner - but then i woke up this morning and it all started over again. my pdoc told me that i need to wait for my meds to take full effect, but i'm impatient and these thoughts and questions are driving me crazy! some of my friends have told me to "just stop obsessing" - if only it were that easy. the anxiety is killing me as well, so i've started taking .25mg of xanax when i get really tense. i've always questioned love and thought too much about it. the obsessing just makes it a million times worse. i feel like if i hear someone say something like "i love my husband with all my heart" or "whenever i look at my wedding ring i think about how much i love him", i usually think to myself, i wouldn't say something like that. i know everyone is different and has different styles so i shouldn't think something is wrong with me if i don't feel the same way they do. i'm not a romantic person and never really have been. i'm not a mushy card type of person, i go for the funny ones. that's just me. but sometimes all this stuff scares me and worries me.
