Self-harm, self-loathing, anger

I think I understand what you're saying. I have PTSD (diagnosed) + obsessive thinking that goes beyond PTSD but I'm not diagnosed with OCD. I understand why you say the OCD-ness is worse. PTSD is one thing but when the obsessions get their claws into me, all bets are off and I spiral out of control. So in my way of thinking, the obsessions make it all worse.

I've known for years that the obsessive thinking is by far my worst symptom, but it wasn't until recently that I realized its outside the scope of PTSD. As such, it helps me to look at them as two separate issues that feed off each other.

Now I'm adjusting to new meds that help with the obsessive thinking. I'm doing a bit better. It's nice that my mind is able to calm down.

@intrasearching, I've heard a saying that when you wonder what's wrong with you or think there is something wrong with you then there actually isn't. Which I always find somewhat comforting. As for eating, that's kind of funny because I am similar. If I don't eat I feel good about myself and if I do I feel terrible.
