Do i have an anxiety disorder?!!?
I am not going to attempt to diagnose you because I am not a doctor but from experience it sounds to me like you have something similar to generalized anxiety disorder as well as obsessive compulsive disorder. With both of those you'll experience the things you're currently describing. While I do not have obsessive compulsive disorder, I do have generalized anxiety disorder and can relate to the anxiety type stuff you are feeling. I have heard it takes quite awhile to find the right type of medication to control each individuals concerns. Another thing that may help you is behavioral therapy basically where they teach you different thought patterns and it works for A LOT of people believe it or not. With my anxiety I used mind over matter. I decided to force the anxiety away and I was bad, when I say bad I mean hospital/doctor everyday, I was so so scared, didnt sleep for weeks and got very sick because of it. I do take lorazepam every now and again when I feel anxious but other then that I am ok. I would say go back to your doctor and let him/her know that you feel its not working and you would like to see a doctor who specializes in that type of thing so you can get more information as well as other ways to help you.
