Guest Pixie88 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi All, I'm also new to the forums, having registered this evening. I have suffered from OCD from a young age but only realised what it was a few years ago when I stumbled across a detailed article on the subject. I have managed to stop the compulsions - apart from ordering things and applying symmetry in certain tasks - but am currently struggling with intrusive thoughts. They were somewhat under control but I have gone through a few major changes in my life recently, and they have returned with a vengeance!! My life is not as structured as it was, and I have lots more time to ponder on things! I feel very out of sorts at the moment: anxious, scared, tearful - this seems to be as a consequence of the above and obsessing about madness. I am also possibly in the perimenopause stage of life so hormones may be playing a part. It sounds strange but I feel unsure of who I am. Can anybody else relate to this? I have booked CBT in a week's time in order to help. Thanks Link to comment
PolarBear Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) There's been a number of discussions here about hormones and OCD and the general concensus is that they do make OCD worse. Welcome to the forum. Edited August 29, 2014 by PolarBear Link to comment
