>I simply dont know how to deal with this. Since I have GAD and OCD maybe it's impossible.
I have OCD and diabetes. I hardly think of the latter. I just take my meds and do what I have to take care of myself.
>I mean it has been years since I got the diagnosis and I havent been able to deal with it.
How haven't you been able to deal with it?
>Also going to therapists and being told stuff like "you gotta accept it" doesnt help me.What would you like to be told?
>I have many other things which either can't be cured or doctors cannot tell me what it is.
This sounds a lot like hypochondriasis.
>also antidepressants dont help me.
Have you tried a combination of antidepressant and antipsychotic?
Are you familiar with ACT? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_and_commitment_therapy
