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 have been struggling with OCD a lot lately, mostly obsessive thoughts and they are in the irrational fear of getting in trouble and I'm doing an IOP program for it. It's helping develop coping skills but when the thoughts come I feel like they have so much power over me. Mine comes off in confessing and it's so obvious when it's happening that I'm afraid that I only get a few days without thoughts and then it just comes on again. It's hard to deal with the intrusive thoughts and especially when it tries to trick you into thinking you did something when you didn't and I'm just wondering if anybody else deals with this type.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
