If anyone has any good sources that I can go to for help with OCD I
would greatly appriciate it. I am currently in the process of
getting back on my meds for anxiety and for bipolar. I am scared of
adding one more med to the list. If there are some good ways to get
through the obsessive situations that I find myself in I would like
to recieve links to sites or any emails from individuals with
incite. My internet access is currently sporadic as I have to use
the public library. However, I do check my email at least once a
week and have set up to recieve the digest version of this board. My
edress is robert_s_j_d_mcclary@... and anyone with some
really good advice would be welcome as a person to chat with.

My problem is mostly interpersonal relationships. I find myself
highly likely to obsess over a person or personal situations.
Currently, I am trying to find a way to not be obsessive about the
woman that I am trying to have a relationship with. I don't want to
blow this one like the others. I wish that I had internet at home,
because that way I could always just pop online and 'deal' when I
wake up at 2am and want to see her. I can't stand my life like this
anymore and I don't have a clue what to do. My appointement to see
the nurse practitioner for my meds isn't until June 3rd and I do plan
to ask about the possibility of getting diagnosed for OCD officially,
but only if they can guarentee that my other meds won't have an
interaction as I am not willing to give up those meds. But, then
again, maybe my anxiety is part of the obsessive. Any thoughts or
ideas on this would be appriciated.

Do others with OCD find themselves suffering from high end anxiety,
panic disorders and what not? Is it possible that my anxiety is
actually an effect of the OCD?

Thanks in advance.

Robert
