Hi

Moving house in a few months and terrified of how the ocd will be with the added stress, any ideas?

I know how my OCD always flares up with any kind of added stressor. I recently moved as well. To help my OCD I did 1 or 2 small things per day to prepare for the move. (Like packing up 1 box and canceling my cable) So, on moving day, my anxiety was less than it would have been.

Transitions are tougher for us with OCD. Allow yourself time to recuperate from the move and be patient with yourself. I find mindfulness helpful for transitions.

Best of luck
