The ABC Homeopathy Forum

OCD, Derealization, Panic, Existenial Crisis...please help!!

Hello, I have severe (at least I think it is severe) OCD accompanied with derealization and some paranoia (from what I can tell) it originally started when i was 15, the derealization and OCD took a 5 year hiatus, leaving just general anxiety (had a few minor ocd outbreaks in the 5 year, but nothing this bad) the horror started again about 6 months ago when i thought i was going to die from a rare disease. I have an immense fear of dying, and losing controlmyself) and now i have a whole lot of existential questions that are impossible to answer that worsen my state of mind.. i cant afford anymore therapy or a visit to a homeopath so i want to follow the advice on here, will i have any side effects to belladonna or any other of these remedies? Thank you.

g)Onset time of troubles in
detail, i.e which came first,
after that what problem and
so on.

Onset of trouble was when I was 15yrs old in the summer between my sophomore and junior year of highschool. I had a bad trip on Marijuana (which I had only smoked 7 times in my whole life, that being the 7th) I was coming down the next day when my dad said he heard on the discovery channel that the world could be a video game, I panicked then my whole world changed, I could no longer control my anxiety, I felt like I was floating and nothing looked real anymore. I would involuntarily shake, had multiple upon multiple panic attacks over things like pain killlers, eating mushrooms becausr i thought they would make me high, whither i was crazy, whither i was dreaming, or if i had actually died, and i would have panic attacks for no reason except that i was afraid of the world now. I was suspended in this state for roughly 3 months until school began. After school began my anxiety transitioned into an intense fear of germs, had i touched my pants even slightly i could not eat my food it was that bad. I still had panic attacks, the derealization had simply lessened. I went to the school nurse a lot, had no friends, ate lunch in the bathroom. It was in this time I developed my great fear of death. I cannot recall what changed me, but eventually the panic subsided, the derealization faded, and i retained 2/3rds of my previous normality for about 1 year and 1 month, in this time I fell in love, had a lot of friends, enjoyed an amazing summer and year, was a varsity volleyball player. Then sadies happened.. my future husband then boyfriend took me and friends to some hot springs, there was a sign that warned of a brain eating amoeba. I panicked again. I writhed in fear for probably 5 days until it proved i didnt have the amoeba, but my anxiety returned, not as infamous as before, however slowly over time i gained many new OCD like fears, next I watched a documentary about the bible, my husband is athiest and we talked about how contradictory it was, that night i was suddenly compelled to believe that god would smite me for that and take away my ability to sleep. It felt like I couldn't sleep for 5ish days until finally i dont really remember what gave, but i returned to normal, this gave rise to my fear of not sleeping and thus death. I then gained a fear of the number 13 from a coincidental stream of bad events which i just so happened to notice the number, i also developed a jinxing fear in which if i thought about something horrible happening i believed it would happen to me if I didnt knock on wood, or say “i dont want to knowâ€Â. These are the extent of my fears. The amoeba and sleeping fear would come and go for about 3 years, having 2-3 sleeping fear breakouts (that only last about a week) and 2 amoeba breakouts (that only last a couple days), the jinxing and 13 fears were constant. Death fear would mostly arise with the amoeba and sleep fear. However 6 months ago i had a sleeping fear outbreak so intense i truely believed i was a gonner, it was the most intense with the head pain and pressure, and my original onset symptoms from when i was 15 have returned and i have no control over my anxiety again. The OCD is SOO intense now being faced with the jinxing, amoeba, sleeping, and death fears all at once inducing fears of craziness, and now I question all of existence with no answers to relieve the questions, I just feel trapped. I dont know if I can turn to god, spirits, or if when i die i will just disappear, which only heightens my anxiety more. It feels extremely hard to get out now that these OCD fears have been cemented for 4 years.
I have gotten better since the re-onset, but I am still cant seem to shake the fears listed above.
Before the re-onset i was the happiest woman alive, and i thought often about how much i loved my life and how well everything was going, i just got married to my highschool sweetheart, we were in the processing of buying our dream home, work for both of us was heading in the right direction, then i was suddenly afraid of losing it all…. The sleeping fear in this instance was backed by a memory of my older sister telling me a whole family died from not sleeping because something was wrong with their brain. When my sleeping fears come on now, I am afraid i have developed whatever it is they had and then it is EXTREMELY hard to sleep and i panic.
ANS.
h)Treatment method
adopted and its result.
ANS.
I tired therapy, it worked to break me out of some of my detrimental ways of thinking, i had nearly believed no one was real and i was trapped inside a matrix like world, the therapy helped stop that train of thought and through ERP and self realization I have nulled that paranoia, though i fear it is still in the back of my mind which scared me horribly. I had to stop therapy because i couldnt afford the cost after just buying a house, had i known this would onset again i probably would have postponed that!

ANS.
My parents divorced, didnt really affect me because i was so young. The only other event was when i was 15 prior to onset i smoked a drug called spice 1 time! Had the worst trip of my entire life. I used to attribute my anxiety to this event however i was completely fine for a couple of months after, it wasn't until the bad marijuana trip and my dad questioning the universe that all this started, and now when i think of the spice event it is like PTSD.

your sex life, friends, family
