Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Hi all,
I have had various forms of OCD and the ones that affects me really badly currently is checking OCD. As well as checking doors and appliances repeatedly I also check to ensure I don't lose anything.
The checking got really bad and made isolated that I stayed in my room most of the time and I started to rely on other people. I speak like this was a ling time ago but it was or is as close as this week. Even today I've struggled so much. The reason I speak in past tense is because I started to improve and then got a lot worse then the first time. But these last couple of weeks having ben so low and in desperation I had to take part in things that so many things that people thing are normal for example, posting a letter or going to someones house, travelling or going for a meeting. Usually these things take up so much worrying before and after about whether I will leave or left something. However usually they are rare occasions. These past two weeks I have had to do so many things everyday I had to face the fear and although I have given in at times and asked for reassurance i have had victories and I have seen that a hint of normality can be achieved with strength and determination.
i don't know if I will relapse tomorrow I just know that with hope and faith I will sure push and try and build upon my confidence to beat this monster that is OCD and I hope you do too.
I want to thank the many people in this community who have helped me this week and in the past.
Hang in there!
Thank you
Nigel.
