I have OCD and trichotillomania, but I have been on medication for years. I live life normally and happily. I am a teacher, and am probably more high strung than others. I get stressed very easily. I got the flu a couple of weeks ago and was out for 3 days. I pushed myself to get back to school even though I wasnt 100% better. Well, this week I had a relapse, except this time it was the stomach bug. Vomiting is my OCD trigger, so needless to say, I've been in a bit of a tailspin. I'm physically feeling better, but I'm very anxious and having some obsessive thoughts. Is this normal? Are my chemicals just unbalanced because I've been so sick the past couple weeks? I'm taking my meds now, but of course, when I was sick I got off for a couple days. I'm just curious if anything like this has happened to anyone else. Thanks for reading.
