Sounds like you are dealing with a rough spike and you probably should get back on medication and see a theropist if you are not. Be stronger and remember you can get though this all of us on here can get through our problems with OCD it just takes time.

Hello ocdgirl,
I'm sorry your having a bad time.
Winter and Holidays are my worst as well.
I do understand what your talking about, I stress over everything at work when I'm home and
everything at home when I'm at work.
If I don't get the opportunity to "check" what I know I'll stress about later, then yes, it is very disturbing to me.
I am a little better than I used to be about some things, but developed other things I need to check before I feel comfortable.
I'm sure if you've read other OCD post you either have (or will have) seen where it is referred to as the "bully in your mind"
or something similar to that.
This is true.
It is actually worse than a real bully because its in your own mind and knows what scares, disturbs and bothers you most.
Please don't feel alone, this is a very common symptom of the disease.
I agree with HokieOCD as well, if it gets to a point that you cant take the pressure, you really should see a Specialist and get back on some kind of medication.
This site is awesome and I truely appreciate all of the great people here, but sometimes you need face to face with a Professional whether you want to or not.
Feel better soon! :)

Thanks for the replies. As much as I would never wish OCD on anybody, it's nice to have people that understand. I'm probably getting back on meds, I think it would be a good idea.

I totally understand that OCD is a constant battle, and it seems like noone in real life really understands what I am going through. I do agree that you should try and get help from meds. I think it just takes some experimentation to find the right med.

I am glad you posted this. It is comforting to know that other good people are fighting similar battles to me. I wish you well.
