Hi all, just wondering if there are quick remedies for ... well quite frankly my OCD is getting too much out of hand to the point where I have absolutely no rational thinking left it seems. I can't think logically right now, having too much anxiety and can barely even communicate here. It's getting to the point to where my OCD is giving me headaches and straining my mentality and even physiological being. I'm growing fatigued and have got body aches apart from the headache. I slouch a lot as there seems to be a constant feeling of weight on my back, a sort of physical strain. And I really miss people right now and my mind's just spinning in circles right now. Feeling pretty alone and depressed at the moment. Back to my anxiety and OCD ─ I would love to share what my OCD rituals are but I'm quite embarrassed by them. That's part of the anxiety, is wondering if anyone will notice these embarrassing rituals. Apart from that I'm suffering another dark wave of intense depression. And I'm so angry too! What a funky mix of moods/thoughts/feelings. Glad to be venting/sharing here! Much appreciated.

I'm sorry... I know how it is. I had an OCD "freakout" all day yesterday. i was literally in so much anxiety that i was hyperventilating and crying and freaking out. you aren't alone. Ifyou wanna talk about your rituals, anything, you can talk to me. I get it 100%...

Nothing's really perfect, I've been learning to accept imperfection. Can't really avoid it and to think you actually can, is not only exhausting but irrational. Anyway, it's always good to know that I'm not alone

I know your pain. Sounds very similar to what I went through recently, after quitting drinking (heavily) and meds at the same time. My OCD came rushing right back at me, and there were times when I felt it consumed my entire being.

Fear not though. There are many effective treatments, and once you find the path that's right for you, things do get better.

It will most likely burnt itself out somewhat with time. I find that time is a very important factor in dealing with anxiety. Try to do something relaxing and put your mind on autopilot?(I know this can be hard)
