    Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster. I don't know where to start. I have OCD and it has been under control for quite some time. In the last month or two, however, it has gotten really bad. The thoughts are just becoming much more intrusive and worse. I don't know what to do. I have someone I go to see every so often. I also have a good group of friends. I don't want to burden them though. In the last couple of days, the thoughts have hit a new high. I am now sitting here in tears as I just can't cope anymore. I really don't know what to do. I haven't felt this bad in a long time. I would like to check myself into a psychiatric hospital but don't want to upset my family. They have enough on their plates. I don't know why I am writing this. Maybe just to get it out of my system or maybe someone can offer advice?
    Thanks

    Hi OP, sorry to hear that you are going through this. *hug* What kind of OCD do you have?

    Hi Op.
    I don't have OCD, but I am struggling with panic attacks right now for a number of reasons.
    I can't pretend to know what you're going through, but I do have some idea of how it feels when things just get too much and the obsessive thinking (in my case goes with the panic attacks) starts taking over your life.
    Keep talking.And don't be afraid to ask for help.Can you go and see the person you visit sometimes more often to help you through?
    Also I might suggest checking out the long term illness forum (under Science)...you'll find some good advice, and even just people who understand your frustration there.
