Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
I had a good 10 days without many hardly any at all intrusive thoughts about past intrusive thoughts about hurting other people mainly with my car. It was great not having any thoughts. I am starting to have a little anxiety and I can feel the intrusive thoughts knocking on my door. I am doing my CBT the best that I can. I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop meaning my past intrusive thoughts. Does this happen to anyone else

yes, definitely. sometimes time of month- hormones...sometimes something triggers- sometimes I don't know what it is. It is frustrating but normal. I think the best thing to do is to let the wave pass...and don't beat yourself up over it.

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...
