I've been away for the past week or so. I've been so stressed! My mom is all of a sudden moving to where I live (three hours away from her) and she is elderly. Trying to get all her paperwork has been ridiculous. She has never been diagnosed but she is definitely bipolar and I know I got it from her. As she has gotten elderly she really isn't manic anymore. She is still obsessive about certain things. Well, you add her obsessiveness and mine, it's a perfect storm! I was crying and hysterical last night. My husband got worried again.
I have BAD OCD about certain subjects. Mine is mostly thoughts. I just knew I had done some paperwork wrong or messed up creating an account online that she needed. Then I became paranoid about it and had unrealistic thoughts but I couldn't stop myself. I see my pdoc for the 1st time tomorrow since being put on Gabapentin. I've had ok results and I'm just hoping this episode was just related to stress and not a representation of the affects or non-affects of the med. Just wanted to update you guys. I've missed you guys!

Ocd thoughts are so exhausting, I'm sorry you're experiencing this now. It sounds like stress is likely, mine is really activated by stress, too.

I was just thinking about how I haven't "seen" you in a while. I hope it all works out. My mom moving in here just temporarily for a few months was super stressful. Good luck with the move and transition. Please take care.

Glad your back
I'm sorry your facing a potential real upset to your life. Only advice I can offer is do what you can and stop before you lose your shyt. I know.... hard to know that line... But enlist your hubby in determining where that line is. Remember .. In a plane the first safety issue told is .. Put the O2 mask on yourself first,, You can't help anyone if your drowning.
