I have suffered from obsessed thinking on-and-off for several years. I am currently taking a well-known medication for anxiety. I am considering going to see a counselor who can teach me coping techniques. For now, I would love to meet others who suffer from pure obsessive thoughts to learn more about what others with this disorder go through and if they have any techniques to share. I tend to obsess over things regarding my children, their failures and the adults that correlate with those failures. I also obsess over friends, particularly friends who do not/can't/wont give as much into the relationship as I do. I also obsess over some things related to sex. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
