At my wits end

Hello,

I am new to this forum and I have been struggling with anxiety/ocd/ruminating for 6 months now, been on different meds( mostly SSRIs that don't work for me) . My obsession is that there is something medically wrong with me, I have been to countless dr visits with different "conditions". I have recently been diagnosed with IBS and hemorrhoids but I still think that there is something more wrong. I started taking Anfarnail yesterday and I really hope it wll work because I am not able to live like that anymore. I am constantly tired, anxious, compulsively searchin the net trying to reassure myself that I am fine. Even when  the dr tells me I am OK I don't believe it.
Please help

Doubt is a big part of OCD.  Did you learn cognitive behavioral therapy or did you just take medication?  

I'm sorry to hear you didn't respond to SSRIs.  I assume you took them for at least a month each time???
