hi everyone. here is my situation. i have a brother who has had ocd for years. it is getting out of control for him. he is having these thoughts about killing or hurting someone in his sleep. he stays up all night long and goes without sleep because of these thoughts. he thinks hes gonna start hearing voices and that they are gonna tell him to kill or hurt someone. he thinks hes gonna get skitzophrenia or already has it. i know that those are just THOUGHTS and i tell him that all the time and he says he has to constantly fight off the voices that he THINKS hes gonna start hearing. any noises at all he wil say " did you hear that" just to make sure it wasnt in his head. i am really concerned about him. he sure dont deserve to live like this. he is a very wonderful person. he has alot of physical problems too. he is a diabetic, has diabetic neuropathy so hes always in pain, and has diabetic retinopathy. my question to you all is, does anyone know any medications or books or anything that could help him to overcome this. can anyone at all relate to this? any responses would be much appreciated.. thank-you and god bless!

He needs to go to the Doc. and see about some meds. I would say to do it asap. I will keep you both in my prayers.

thank-you very much sherry. i am gonna call around tommorrow as a matter of fact and make him go in. he has been suffering with this for so long its just consuming him entirely. thank-you for your preyers. god bless!

Absolutely.... I suffered with Ocd and Anxiety since age 3...I am now 32. Not only the Doc, but please get him to see a therapist! I take Zoloft and it truly helps! Therapy keeps me on track, and believe me sometimes just talking to someone professional who can tell you that these symptoms are not what you think they are lessens the anxiety. The fears and thoughts your brother has... I had many of the same. He will get better! God does not allow us to burden more than we can bare.
Prayers,
Kelly
