Alcohol and OCD...

[Guest Runnerchik]

During Thanksgiving, I opened up on Facebook about my OCD struggles. Those who I expected to read it, went beyond that expectation. They put some time into research to enable themselves the understanding of the struggles.

I had the opportunity of joining family and friends on New Year's Eve with some tasty beverages. Throughout the evening, certain family and friends discretely asked how I was feeling. I felt fantastic. All OCD struggles were at rest. Of course the consequences of drinking hit the next morning, not a headache...a drained body. The same individuals who asked the night before about my OCD struggles, were curious the following morning. The OCD seemed to be on vacation, but returned within a few hours. Those struggle free hours were beyond phenomenal.

Considering alcohol is a drug...wishing something other than drugs could prohibit the struggles!

Anyway...Happy New Year All!! :original:

OCD is completely exhausting! On top of those day to day struggles, I'm in a relationship with someone who has ADHD. His symptoms add fire to my symptoms. It can be very ugly!
