Hi,

I am sorry this is happening. Sounds as if you may be having a spike. I can only think of 2 things:

First, have you had Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with any of the counselors you've seen? It might be worth a try to go back and concentrate on that. It can really help.

Second, your meds may need changing, or increasing.

Please get in touch with your helping people. As for why it's happening, well, it's OCD, and I've never know that to have a logical reason for giving us yet another obsession....

Also, if you force yourself to stop the pacing, you'll get uncomfortable, "squirmish", but try just sitting with it and letting that feeling be there. It will eventually lessen with this exposure.

Best,
Seaturtle
