    Found out today that my aunts cancer is back :( she's been in the hospital ill with pneumonia as well and I'm just really worried. She's done so much for me and my sisters and I'm just scared to loose her but then ik she's a fighter

    This is such awful news to hear, Chloe. I can see how worrying this would be and know from personal experience how gut-wrenching news like this can be to receive. I'm sending big hugs to you and your family. <3

    Wait wait wait wait wait - it might actually be OCD, makes sense. Psychiatrist prescribed me medication that's neither a ssri or snri but hoping that it works, excited to give it a try

    Hope your doing okay at the moment and that the medication you have been prescribed will be useful as well <3. How are you feeling about taking the new medication at the moment?.

    @Amy22 thank you. there's not many side effects which I'm surprised about - but when I picked it up today they messed up the numbers and all that so I'll have to see once they fix that

    No worries I'm here for you as well as everyone else here. Sometimes some medications have less side effects whereas others tend to have more. Hopefully they fixed the numbers and give the right dosage for the medication as well. I find that with mine, I have to wait a lot for them in the pharmacy.
