Maladaptive coping strategies
Psychiatrist says i have ocd with predominant obsession...i am in a very stressful situation where i have to clear 10 backs in my degree, i have to study to make happen my dreams come true but the problem is that i follow maladaptive coping strategies regarding my stress and anxiety like masturbation , ignoring situation , smoking etc It gives me only temporary relief and problem is still there .. i am not lazy , but i know everything about my problem still i cant even try to over come from maladaptive coping strategies... I hate psychologist bcz they will say me to follow a routine , study , disciplined schedule which i can not do ... So is there any medication which is purely dedicated to maladaptive coping strategies.. I have tried 5 ssris, clomipramine, bupriprion, antipsychotics None is working for me ...

No medication can help you. Only you can help yourself, by doing the things you need to do which will help you realise your dreams. Every time you find yourself engaging in maladaptive behaviour, ask yourself if this will help you achieve your goals. Do things that will only help you. Also find a counsellor who can be of emotional support.
