Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Thanks for those varying responses-I got something out of all of them. I think what triggers the idea of the possibility of this type of worry as being OCD is the frequency of the thoughts, the mental exhaustion I get from it, and the way it nearly seems to debilitate and definitely decrease functioning ability.....I guess it's anxiety, regardless of the type.....Lists are a big part of my life, and yes, my anxiety does go down as I write things down, and I very seldom accomplish each thing on the list...and it is broad spectrum in that it isn't ONLY about achieving things, but worrying about being bad, what people think, if I said something wrong, if I'm " good " enough....which brings me back to the point I was to begin with-my son has the scrupulosity or bad thought OCD, so I just wonder if it is indeed related. His doctor seemed to think we could probably locate someone in the family who definitely had OCD, not just a cousin like anxiety...thus my pondering on it all. Thanks for letting me ponder!! A 50 mg increase of Zoloft back to the prescribed dose has eased it a lot today, though. Thanks to all. in SI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the worrying interferes with one's ability to function, it's goes from being subclinical to true OCD in my book. i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
