Chelsie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Ok - so had a much better afternoon/evening yesterday, after a bad week. Managed to avoid many compulsions, went out, had fun etc. Slept well and woke without awful anxiety symptoms that I've had recently. So, why have I spent the morning worrying about silly things - panicking that things I haven't worried about for months are contaminated and doing far too much hand washing? Forced myself to sit down and watch tv for a while with a cup of tea in order to break the cycle. Cross with myself? Link to comment
Cub Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Sweating the small stuff is something we all do - don't be cross with yourself because you had a relapse, we all get them. I often ask myself 'Why am I worrying about this thought I had from six years ago' but unable to let it go. It's OCD and it's torture and I understand. Well done for all you did yesterday to help yourself; you should be very proud. Link to comment
