Do any of you get worried about anticipating when the next spike will come?
i find myself feeling so much better lately... i obsess, but it doesnt cause me any anxiety... however, my OCD coincides with my stress, so i start to worry about events in the future that will cause me to spike... like im moving this month, so im worried it will come back...
yes i have felt like that, usually i used to feel like if this spike comes back again but this is before i notice that i have OCD and i was like why do i feel like this? but now i have this feeling less but still i have this feeling if i make a new obsession about somthing at first it sounds stupid but after a few seconds the fear gets more seriouse
yeah, just last night i picked up a fun new obsession... i sneezed a few days ago, and pulled that muscle that runs between your a** and your p***is... well it kinda hurts down near my testicles, so last night i was CONVINCED i had testicular cancer... i still cant stop thinking about it... i must have checked myself a dozen times... everytime i thought i felt something, but then you feel closer and you dont feel anything abnormal... im still convinced i missed something... lol... so rediculous...
anyway, on topic, the first time the obsession faded, i thought "ok good, thats over" but then i started freaking out about "what if it comes back" and it did... hehe... good stuff... now that i know about OCD more and i know more about MYSELF, its been much easier to manage...
I have odc about germs and stuff, and I am already freaking out anticipating this years flu outbreak later this fall. I know I'm gonna get nuts with the hand washing and obsessive worrying . I just started taking prozac again, which got me through last years flu season. I am also anticipating a huge spike once my kids start kindergarten NEXT year (I won't be able to make sure they are washing their hands and staying away from sick kids).
