ocd or anxiety or ?

I’m just waiting now for my husbands ocd meds to start working but I guess it could take days. I’ve almost given up hope and I’m so worried because I don’t know if it’s ocd or anxiety or what.

Hi there, in my own case, the anxiety drove the OCD, then  that in turn fed the anxiety, and so on. They sort of go together. One of the two will hopefully ease first, allowing the rest to follow suit. It can be done! 🙂

There is a good book I used to have, about dealing with Anxiety. The writers name was Dr Helen Kennerley.  It is not expensive, in fact, I think it is available on what used to be known as the book prescription service, run by Mental Health nurses…
