Mine seems to in waves. Oh the OCD is always lingering in the background but the levels of anxiety and irritation come and go. That's right, my OCD doesn't just trigger anxiety but irritation. I have the idea that no only do things have their proper place but have their way they ought to be done and completed. Tasks around the house are a good example.

I had a spike this holiday weekend. First of all, with my boyfriend being off work for two extra days my own routine was interfered with. Bless his heart; he really tried his best to be helpful but not only did he get in my way he wasn't doing things the way I would have done them. I bit my lip but my anxiety and irritation sky rocketed.

Anyway, it strikes me that I might not be alone (or so I hope) in that others out there experience their OCD related anxiety (and other symptoms) more at times than others.
