How can I overcome this phobia. In retrospect, I've been like this since my teenage years. I'm 34 and I feel like it's getting the best of me. It has shattered my social life. I have a wonderful job...and when I work I have no problem...it just occurs when I have to deal with people socially such as shopping, going to dinner, running errands, etc.

Does this mean I should look into getting a prescription for antidepressants?

I believe this is possible, because that's what I have. What you obsess about does not necessarily have to end in an action (i.e. check the oven is off due to obsessing about burning down the house). Sometimes, as in my case, you obsess about things that can't be acted on--like past mistakes. But the compulsive part may come out in the very minor obsessions (worries, really), like preoccupation that you didn't lock your car, so you have to go check no matter what.
You probably wouldn't lose sleep over not locking your car like you would the intense obsessive thoughts but these worries are concerns that nag you that you act on.
My point is that the Os and the Cs in OCD don't necessarily have to be cause and effect, the Cs aren't always acting on the Os, so to speak. Isn't it possible to have the presense of mind to stop the compulsions while still being plauged by obsessive thoughts?

Did they help with the feelings of isolation, anger/hatred towards others and yourself? Did you feel like living again instead of feeling dead inside. Basically, are they worth it compared to the alternative.

Oh, one last thing, did they make you gain weight.

I think something has gone wrong with a friend of mine. As a reaction to a lot of stress and some bad events in life, he suddenly ran out of all his positive and negative emotions and feelings, and says he's become more like an observer of the world with a flattened affect and voice, and he's lost ALL his motivation, sex drive and interest in life in general. He doesn't enjoy his hobbies anymore and he doesn't say this feels any bad at all (unlike people with depression). He's been like this for a month now. I knew him before, and the difference is really dramatic. He's got no paranoid symptoms or delusions though. He's in his early-mid-twenties and his mother is schizophrenic. Do you think it could be schizophrenia? Are there any other people out there with similar symptoms?

This person sees things like bugs. Huge ones that are only there for a second when they first open their eyes. It is only one bug at a time. Not always the same kind. Can be anything from a huge spider to a huge beetle kind of bug. They have tried to catch it then when they reach it its gone, never existed. All of this happens when they have been asleep and have just woke up.

Please don't just say they are crazy, we know this is probably a mental thing and want more info.

whenever I go outside, especially in public places and around town I feel that everytime a person walks past me it is a psychological hell. I see the stranger coming from like 20 yrds away and quickly I look down, avert my eyes, and then as I get closer to them I feel like they are doing the same thing and looking quickly and pretending that they don't notice or care. but in my experience, i notice every single person I pass on the sidewalk and actually think about them. IWalking down the street is a nightmare now because I have this deep psychological interaction with every person I pass. Will I look away or look them in the face? If I look them in the face, they win. If I look away, I win. But then they realize I'm gonna look away and they look away first, so they win...it's a struggle, every day just walking down the street it's a psychological struggle. can anybody else relate?
