I’ve was diagnosed with ocd in 1998 and I have the worrying kind. I will be good for about a year and a half and then something will pop up and it starts all over again. Now I’m fixated on my blood pressure because I was diagnosed with it around the same time. I worry I won’t know if I should be calm or anxious and if I’ll know the difference because my mind plays with me. This disorder gets to me from time to time and when it acts up about once every year and a half and there are times I cry out of fear and frustration. Anyone else deal with the worrying kind? Would be good to know so I don’t feel so all alone
OCD is the doubting illness. It'll make you question your every move. I've relapsed with OCD twice now (it happens every two years since diagnosed) and I need to evaluate what I need to prevent this. You're not alone in this :)
thank God someone understands what I’m going through. You feel very alone and waiting for the medication to work can be a long drawn out process. I need to find a better dr and a counselor. Someone I can talk to because I’m tired of living my life like this. I think after awhile the meds stop working and you need to find different meds
Yeah this year was really tough and I want to get resolve my OCD habits because I'm tired of hating myself. I recommend using the NOCD app because you can talk to people with the same OCD subtype as you and they also have therapists though I'm unsure if what insurance they cover.
I feel like I could’ve wrote this myself. I also was diagnosed in 1998 at the age of 6. It was pretty severe until about age 13. I was okay up until I was pregnant with my 4th daughter that it spiraled. That was 2 years ago and I still have my days where I’m stuck in an OCD panic, it’s awful.
