Anyone with PPA/OCD?

It's taken me a long time, but I have finally gotten fed up with my anxiety issues. I have always been a worrier, but it's gotten to the point where I will lay awake at night imagining terrible things that could happen to me or my family.
I talked to my H about it last week and he is being really supportive and understanding. I called and made an appointment with a psychiatrist next week. So I am just wondering what to expect and what meds you are on if you have the same issues. Thanks.

Re: Anyone with PPA/OCD?
yes! At the psych appt, the doctor will spend about an hour with you trying to figure out a diagnosis. We talked about my history, the thoughts I'd had, etc. Its important to be honest and open and know the doctor won't judge you.
I am on Zoloft, only because i'm still breastfeeding. I also work out often which helps my symptoms tremendously.
