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.
The last week or so i have watched way to many halloween movies. The 13 days of halloween cable channels like to call it.
Having ocd, it has triggered me, iam now unsettled and feel like things are afoot.
But its funny, i had to watch anyways. I knew at some point they would bother me. But its halloween. Its sucha great season. I couldnt let my ocd get in the way.
I dont know about anyone else, but i tend to portray things into my own life..
for instance: if i watch a scary movie..i start having thoughts like ,that will happen to me, or i will do that to someone else....or if someone is going through something i think it will happen to me etc.
wes craven,m night shamylanananana..lol and stephen king movies have nothing in comparison to what my own thoughts can do to me.
I know with having ocd so long, and all the stages of it, i have made it through just fine. So maybe thats why its ok if things trigger me, cuz i know there is a end point to it, and i go back to normal.
The belief in knowing i will be ok no matter what is placed before me, has seen me through 25 years of ocd anxiety and depression. and if believing in myself and hoping has got me this far, no sence doubting it now.
EVERYBODY HAVE A SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN.

My daughter had a Halloween party and I'm exhausted. Blown away. Pooped. Wrung out. Done for. Done in and drained. And just slightly manic. WOOOOOOOOOOO sugar rush! Leaves ya ... I don't know up and down simultaneously. Maybe if I brush the fuzz off my teeth I'll have a little less sugar in my mouth. Good night. This has made absolutely no sense.

I do that, i apply scary things like that to my own life, it freaked me out b-4 i found out it was ocd, i thought i was just going nuts. Talk about dealing with a challenge. I used to be a horror film freak growing up, especially the supernatural kinds like "poltergeist" and "exorcist" and "rosemary's baby" oooh gives me the chills even thinking about them, Now i stay away, they scare me. The rush used to be fun, now I'd just get a panic attack. FUN...

we have a crawl space and the hole to get into it is kinda small so every single time i would pop my head in to turn the light on all i could pictur is someone standing there with an axe ready and willing to chop my head off....

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
