OCD and ADD

[Anonymous]

I’m an adult; I have been diagnosed in the past with OCD and had meds (Anafranil) for it but was able to go off them after a couple years’ treatment. Now I suspect that I also have ADD. Do ADD and OCD often occur together? Or is OCD part of ADD?

I cannot answer your question. Though it is becoming evident that I have developed some sort of OCD. When I am sad, dissatisfied with my self, I hit myself. Trying to postpone it or prevent it altogether just makes it worse. My spouse (bless her) tells me to just stop it – if only I could. The fact that the harder I try to suppress it, the more difficult it becomes. Satisfying the compulsion brings a little relief. I thought I was getting better, but it’s driving me nuts.
