A terrible obsession

[Vinton]

I've been diagnosed with GAD and OCD. My worse nighmare is that I obsess about my mental condition. I monitor myself continously and compare myself with others on how well they are. I'm ruminating my condition 24/7. I was hospitalized for 10 weeks due to a depression caused by this and I'm back in the same boat..Just can find a solution.

BTW, I really like the book by that same author:

Freedom from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Personalized Recovery Program for Living with Uncertainty

Hello Vinton,

Nice to hear from you again. Has your doctor ever proposed any strategies that might help alleviating your obsessions?
