Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I had knee replacement surgery two weeks ago. In the hospital I was given a lot of pain medication. Before surgery I was able to control my anxiety pretty good. Since I have been home my anxiety has gone way up and my O.C.D. is trying to pop in with thoughts from the past. My O.C.D. is not surfacing with cureent events.. My O.C.D. centers around hurting other people. I have a DVD player in my brain going around and around and I do not know which past incident thought of hitting someone with my car over 2 years GO IT WILL STOP AT. tHESE THOUGHTS ARE VERY DISTRESSING. i HAVE THOUGHTS from 20 yrs ago on my DvD player. During a crisis or prior to an event my anxiety is usually pretty low but after it peeks example surgery. Does this happen tro anyone else.

Any repetitive, intrusive thoughts of harming someone should be reported to a psychiatric healthcare provider, if you are not seeing one already, as soon as possible. Obsessive/compulsives often act upon a ritual to relieve anxiety, such as compulsive hand washing, repeatedly checking an already locked door, placing things in a certain order and then rechecking that order many times. The acts are harmless in themselves, but cause a great deal of discomfort and can consume much of the individual sufferer's time. Now harming someone with an automobile or any other manner is a very different story altogether. If you act upon this compulsion, it is criminal and you will be held liable to the full extent of the law. You should seek immediate psychiatric help. Those are more darker and potentially dangerous OCD thoughts and you should be forthcoming with loved ones about this. You should have said something when you were in for surgery, you could have seen the resident psychiatrist and you probably wouldn't be posting a scary comment like this now, because he/she would have been able to help you. Please take care

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
