Is my OCD gone, or is this just Depression on top of it?

[tothemoonnback]

I've had O. C. D for years, but recently, I've had some major terrible things happen in my person life, in which I defiantly caused major depression. The "ticks," "reactions" or "compulsions" of my O. C. D aren't preformed anymore because all I can do is sit in bed and cry or sleep. I want to preform my "rituals," but I am just too sad to do it. Does this mean my O. C. D is gone, or is it just overwhelmed with depression, considering I still have an urge to think about and do the O. C. D related things?

I had ocd, anxiety, and depression for many years so I certainly know how you feel. For me ocd usually cropped up when I was in more of a functioning frame of mind--as in able to go about daily life somewhat normally. It sounds as though you might have slipped into non functional territory. So, I would say the ocd is being muted by a heavier influence right now.

One thing that helped me is to force myself into doing some rigorous physical exercise or activity. It will likely be difficult to coerce your body and mind to do it but it will be beneficial to your health and you feel better afterward.

One other thing that helped me was to break routine. Try to do something that feels completely out of the ordinary and break patterns of how your days usually go.

Your ocd probably has to do with you trying to get order in a would off horrible things and untell you start doing those things again you will never get out of your depression

You need to talk to your doctor about it. Internet people aren't going to have answers for you.
