Lately my ocd like tendencies have been going on a lot more then usual. When they do happen I have no idea what starts it off. Nor do I truly know what to do to make my brain stop obsessing over what ever it is in the moment. And the fact I feel helpless to it seems to side step trigger my depression. I am away on vacation now but maybe the best thing to do would be to speak to my doctor (therapist ) when I get home. But maybe you all can give your advise or tips also?

I notice that for me added stress triggers my OCD to get worse. For example, I have been dealing with some extra stress at work and I have noticed that my checking of things as quadrupled especially at work which has slowed me down at work which then stresses me out even more. It's a viscous circle that I am trying to stop. I am limiting myself at the moment to only checking twice. I also suffer from Bipolar 1. Well I have have been in a hypomania episode and this stresses me out, therefore making the OCD worse. My pdoc has increased one of my meds and the hypomania seems to be getting better. I would definitely talk to your therapist when you get home. As far as advice, I've been fighting this demon my whole life. I try so hard to distract myself. The only thing that works for me is that I play the piano. I go into my own little world. I wish the best of luck to you, I know how much this disease can consume your life. Keep fighting.

I have noticed it today as well I have a bad tendency of being a hypochondriac about my health. Some how the thought process of that I have not gotten myself tested for stds in a while got lodged in my head. And by sheer common sense I should know I have nothing to worried about. I have only one sexually active partner and we both have not been with anyone else, even though we are poly. It rolls around in my head cause I have had minor stds before in the past and it scares me it could happen again. And that he would leave for it. Even though he has told me he would not do so. I don't know why but when I am stuck in a car like I am now (on a road trip right ) it seems to make my mind wander
