Okay so, I have been diagnosed with GAD about 2 years ago when I was a junior in high school and have just started to take my medication Fluoxetine again. But, always wondered if OCD is what I really have.
Ever since I was little, I remember worrying about the most ridiculous things. But I'm not sure they were exactly worries, but instead obsessions? After reading through this OCD forum and hearing about all these fears and obsessions, I realized that I have worried and obsessed over the same things!
I remember I have worried that I was attracted to my brother when I was a little kid and it made me sick. I worried about it obsessively and it gave me much anxiety. But that eventually went away and I never thought about that again.
There has also been several times that I would worry that I was going crazy, developing schizophrenia, developing multi personality disorder because of my intrusive thoughts (which i still worry about), Worried that I was going to become lesbian when i was younger, worried about getting Alzheimers, had a huge fear about dying ( i remember I would constantly worry if I was going to die in some way every day), Worry that I will harm my family and friends or even kill someone, experienced derelization and depersonalization as well. There have also been other bizarre worries as well...
I guess what I want to know is weather I have an OCD problem or anxiety or some sort of hypochondria?
Or am I really just going crazy?
