Getting over my ocd is driving me insane. what can i do?

Therapy ; Med Eval: Maybe you write "getting over" because you are actively engaged in ocd therapy - if so, good for you. Ocd treatment will increase your anxiety and make you feel crazy, even if you are not. A popular treatment is have a person endure the anxiety of not performing the ritualized behavior until the anxiety decreases. It's makes you feel crazy. Some meds can help - see a competent psychiatrist.
