Is this spiraling?

[Anonymous]

Ok so my anxiety, ocd are both really bad right now I have been having issues sleeping and it connects back to the fact I’m constantly alone. When I talk about it with my sister she goes you need to see a psychiatrist and be on medication. I end up getting frustrated because medication isn’t gonna fix loneliness your then just drugged up and lonely. Everytime I mention this to her she goes your spiraling and I go no im not its human nature to want interaction and I’m not crazy for wanting that

She is right. Medication won't fix loneliness but will help with anxieties and can lower some of the OCD effects. And this is your starting point. To be able to interact in a proper way, you have to control your anxiety and OCD.

hi, i feel you man, i love the fact despite how you are feeling and trying to cope, you get it that meds and a psych aren't gonna cure you... so you need to find ways to engage... you are clearly aware and spot on in my opinion that the anxiety, sleep issues and ocd are all linked... of course they are... can you tell me a little about your situation/life etc... happy to dm

it is a human nature not to be alone
there is nothing wrong with wanting that
I think having someone by ur side would ease the issues u have but only if that someone is a good person
