Hi I am new here. I am a 38 year old male who got into another ocd rutt a few days ago. I started obsessing about being 40 in a few years and having to deal with htis ocd all my life. I just feel like time is running out and I will always have to deal with htis crap. I also have mild tourettes syndrome and ADHD(lucky, I guess). I just fel so alone and scared and I wish I could cry. Just a week ago I was feeling decent and motivated. I always go through these rutts once a year for a month or 2 and then it seems like my brain just gets tired of obsessing and says so what. Then I get well again. But even being well doesn't mean i am cured just able to be somewhat happy and comfortable. I just feel like this whole disease has just limited a what ciould still be fabulous life. But right now nothing interests me except thinking about having ocd and always being in this dark, lonely place.. Anyway thanks for listening and I look forward to talking one here..... We will all be ok, I just know it

It's back, now I have to deal

I definitely understand about the OCD and the ruts. I hate it and then you add other medical problems on top. It is the pits. Welcome to PC. We are here for one another.

Welcome to psych central.
This really is a great place to share your feelings with others and find support. I am sorry that you are in an ocd rut.

Hi Curtis don't deespair mate, these are classic OCD symptons.I have so many mine fields in my brain when it comes to Rutts.It becomes that severe that I get so erratic that I would hop in my car multiple and multiple times and drive alone (around and around)to eraticate them but its hard I would get that tired that I will pull up in a vacant shopping carpark in the very early hours of the morning and get bogged down with these explosive rutts, and eventually realise an hour or more has just short changed me. I sound like a hypocrite saying this but treat these rutts as psuedo convictions only, try not fight them as find it only escelates the intensity of anxiety. Just weather that raging storm until passes. Hang in there buddy and post me a reply if you so wish about any Rutss or "convictions".

thanks so much bluzman. I know this will pass even though this past week has been a nightmare from hell. It is so funny too because when I do get out of it I just cannot believe I was so sick. Even when I am better I am still sick but life feels a lot better. It feels good to be here with you great people
