can you describe any experiences you’ve had where you OCD worsens with hormones or womanly body changes?
Anonymous asked: My OCD quiets down when I'm around my girlfriend, but when I'm near any guys, it gets so loud I can't function. I wear her sweater to help keep me calm, but I've left more than one event because there was too much noise from my OCD.
You wear your girlfriends sweater to keep you calm? that’s sweet. what about the sweater makes you calm? Noise is a common trigger for people with OCD- it gets hard to concentrate on your thoughts.
Sometimes you can have control over your OCD or it can be quiet for awhile…until something in your life happens that causes it to get loud again. Has anyone experienced this? If so, tell us about it.
I struggle with anticipatory anxiety/OCD. What about you?
Does this ever happen to you?
When you get mad or feel bad about something and you’re trying to explain how you feel but you keep feeling like they aren’t understanding what you’re saying? Or that you’re not saying it right?
Anonymous asked: I know as a fact I have OCD. At first I didn't want to believe it, I didn't even know of this disorder.. I thought I was plain crazy. Then Ilooked up ALL my symptoms and bam! I think my depression worsened it... The bad thing is no one knows I was depressed and I haven't told anyone about the OCD.. my family is s busy and they cre about me too much. I don't want to bother them. And I know my mom would be really upset. And she has high blood pressure so I don't want to harm her.. Help?!
Seeking treatment is going to be the best thing you can do to ensure recovery. It’s too common that going without treatment will cause the disorders to worsen or even develop new disorders. An over active brain can take your mind anywhere. Your mom will be okay, and I’m sure she doesn’t want you suffering
Anonymous asked: Nobody really gets it, no matter how hard they try. They just don't understand. And i'm just so, so tired.
Others with OCD do get it and it’s a very common disorder. Don’t get upset with people who don’t have it for not understanding, they can’t. I know how you feel but if you start reaching out to others with the disorder, you’ll feel much better.
