OCD and heat sensitivity

[Stuyp89]

Hi all,

 

Hope this doesn't sound too strange a question..but does anyone else find if they are having an obsession and then get hot the obsession gets worse? I've noticed this is for years with both obsessions but also with depression. I like a hot bath to relax but if I'm in in the midst of either of those I have to make it a quick one because for some reason heat makes them 10x worse...only temporarily though as soon as I cool down it gets better, well goes back to what it was like before been in a hot bath.

When I have an obsession I get really hot. It's part of the panic/anxiety. It is worse on a hot day because I can't tell if its from the weather or I'm having a hot spell, but not in hot bath
