[QUOTE="Peace Please, post: 417616, member: 11492"] I completely agree with JJJ here. The shattered glass feeling is exactly how I have felt two times in my life. I have severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that was diagnosed when I was 19. I'm 37 now, and I barely remember those periods of time anymore, except feeling like I was never going to feel better. My Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is primarily obsessions related to illness in myself. What has worked the best for me has been resting for a few days, until I start to feel a little more energetic. Then, I start adding back in things I love to do, like crossword puzzles or reading. I find that these are the best distractions because you have to think about them, which helps distract me from whatever it is that's bothering me. After a couple of days of "redirecting" my mind, I start adding back in more physical things, as much as I can handle for each day. When I take the time to do these things for myself, I feel better pretty quickly. I do think that you should visit your doctor and talk about your medication. It took about three years after I was diagnosed for us to find the right combo of medications for me. Don't give up. Things will get better. Sending you hugs!! [/QUOTE]
