I am just mad at myself, my ocd, my add, my caffeine withdrawal. (I have to some excuse for drinking a coke. LOL) I have lost over an hour due to my ocd and trying conquer phobias. YUGH!!! I could have been rolling my hair. ( Yes, I still roll my hair to dry so it will look right). I really just don't like myself right now.

Hugs! Try not to not like yourself; hate the illness, not yourself. I get the same way, feeling like I should be stronger and fight the thoughts, but I chicken out and it's lead to a lot of my life being wasted. Countless hours and minutes wasted.

Try to get in the habit of stopping that voice telling you what a bad person you are or that you're not strong enough. The negativity only harms you more. It's hard to not do it, when it becomes such a habit, but it can be broken.

I want to thank everyone who has responded to my posts. For a few days it seemed I had everything under control and then it started back up full speed ahead. It is just making me so frustrated. It even interrupts my sleep, the thoughts and everything. I know they are all part of ocd and add. I am just having a hard time lately.

It's okay. I've been having a lot of anxiety lately, despite my meds, and I've had rough patches before. It's good to have people here who understand and can help calm you.
