Sorry, this is going to be kind of long.
Here is my problem:
I suffer from OCD, Depression,Bad Anxiety and Insomnia. But I think I may be suffering from something else and my psychiatrist may not be seeing this.
Also nothing seems to be helping my anxiety or Insomnia.
1) Is this part of the OCD? - "Overthinking" meaning that mostly everything that comes across my mind I analyze and "figure it out".
2) As soon as I start to think about anything that requires you to analyze - Mathemetical formula etc... I get frustrated very quickly and Anxiety builds up badly. Then I draw a "Blank" and get confused.
3) As soon as I wake up I'm totally confused and "out of it". I just feel like I'm really confused and Weird. What can that be? It takes at least a half hour up to an hour to "get back on track". And I have these weird dreams that sort of interfere with my thought process. I wake up and the very first minute of the "confusion" I'm distinguishing the dreams from the reality.
4) Bad memory problems. When I study I can't remember a thing. I also have to think hard to remember things that happened the day before. One example is - What time did I watch this TV program? And What did I do yesterday at whatever time?
5) Nothing seems to work for my Insomnia or Anxiety. For anxiety - been on high doses of most of the benzos - didn't do anything.
For Insomnia - Remeron, Restoril, Ambien. Didn't do a thing either except confuse me more.Can somebody help me here? My current Meds are Prozac 40mg and Ativan 3mg a day.
