For those of you who went on medication/are still on medicat

for those of you who went on medication/are still on medication: did the thoughts subside/go away and did the false attraction crap go away as well? i'm so scared I'm going to have to live with this forever even if the anxiety goes away

Do you have a therapist?

@anxietyohthefun i used to but they were too expensive. considering getting one again though

You should. good luck

I am on medication and therapy, the meds have helped a lot. The intrusive thoughts have decreased to a minimum and i can spend days without checking and battling with my mind. I know that the symptoms can return if i quit the pills, but they have helped a great deal to think and have insight while i am on therapy. But as @anxietyohthefun says, you should look for a therapists, and never, ever self-medicate.
