Neutral obsessions. I forgot to mention that’s what I have identified them as. And also, carrying ,y own pocket knife around helped a lot as a constant exposure

I need more help. I have read the book. Gone to a few OCD meetings in Downtown Philly and bala Cynwyd. Obsessing about obsessing. Wishing rituals. Ruminating about past arguments for months, I need to see a specialist to help me sort out the main obsession and then do exposures for them. My thing used to be violent intrusive thoughts. Then it seemed to go away after a few experimental exposures with a trusted friend and his pocket knife, and Harold and him having me hold a car key up to his eye. That violent obsession seemed to have faded but I couldn’t figure out what was bothering me and worrying me so badly til I read this a month ago. I was pusuaded to get off klonapin by by AA sponsor and a dr at University of Penn board certified in addictions meds. He knows a lot about OCD and anxiety it seems. I am doing yoga like he suggested but it seems a far cry from a solution. I never really abused my klonapin my ritual seems to be wishing I was on them again and not being able to be present very much at all and repeatedly arguing with my sponsor and the dr in my head searching for a way to have it be alright to take the pills that worked in the first place, I will have four years sober from alc on feb 19 th. I know they have the potential for abuse and I am more at risk than others but it’s been almost three months and I have never been so depressed and afraid all day and night. I am told I will feel depressed for 6 to 9 months while I am going through the psychological withdraw but I know it’s more than that. I am depressed cause fear is stealing Everything worthwhile in life from me and I am watching it happen helplessly. I feel trapped. People are gonna think I just want to get high and I don’t. I feel like this is a life sentence of fear and depression. I don’t wanna become suicidal. I have never felt this bad for so long. I fear most of all that I won’t be able to sort out the main Obsessions and be able to treat the w ERP and therefor feel like this and waste my life. Any insight would be great, cause I am lost.
