A week of me and my OCD

So this is a week of me and my OCD, since its been abit more of a struggle than usual i found it relevant to post about it.

On Monday i found out my auntie had died, bam OCD trigger for me anything relating to tragic events close to home and since my main OCD trigger originally was my Brother dying the association between the 2 triggered me alot more than usual.

My rituals and what my OCD says i can and can't do or else goes into abit of overdrive here is what my OCD was saying i can't do or else something really awful will happen to me

No having any form of treat dessert etc, No playing certain Video games i want to play, No going to the Gym 3 times ths week had to stick to 2, No doing as much research about finding work to do from home as i am unemployed due to my OCD

Now you may notice a pattern, if you notice it i would love you to tweet me :D

As for Rituals in general it is alot of repeating my foot steps by shifting my feet, or going backwards to repeat my footsteps until it felt right that is my main ritual, or it is having to do a certain task before something else happens.

Example if i am about to go out in my Car, get to my car door before another car goes passed, there are many more examples of these i will leave that for a future blog.

Sexual OCD has been another issue but i will leave that for a later blog to but this is an issue approaching a non OCD sufferer about all of the above is very difficult because of how "Crazy" it sounds but we can all end that Stigma together :D
