This started in feb 2011 since I was having inferiority complex towards my short hight. Sometimes I felt like socially abused due to this. i developed social anxiety due to this .things related to hight or to improve it keeps running on my mind and I was unable to come out this. Latter I diagnosed as a case of OCD. Finally in july 2011 I admitted to the hospital due to depression and diagnosed as a case of bipolar disorder (taken carbamazepine 800 mg for 3 years) then stopped by my Dr. After 6 month I again relapsed and now taking lithium 800 mg daily and stable .my problem other than depression is a kind of ocd. Due to my short height I developed sever social anxiety. I keep on checking my height to others and to give me assurance I think of some person who are of my height and looks better. When I pass to a person of my height I compare it with mind in my mind only. Latter on images of those people keep running on my mind. Those images of short people and thought related to my height bothered me a lot when I told this to doctors they told that it will go away with the time. Latter on situation improved and these thought and images gone away completely. I started living a normal life like others. Now these thoughts and images still comes but after many months and only for a week or two and then goes off automatically. This time after so many months (almost a year) it came back and bothering me lot. Now these image and thoughts keeps running on my mind so frequently that it interrupts daily routine .unable to focus on things like tv and all. I do not want to those images to irritate me. Now from few days I am having problem with my sleep. It gets interrupted and I feel like frightened, anxious and wake up with little racing heartbeat. By the time I have started lorazepam 2 mg at night. How to stop these racing thoughts. Is there any medicine or therapy can help me? Can I live a secure life? Will it be passed to my son?
