Angry

[Madchoc]

Hi everyone,

I just wondered if anyone reacts like me when in a panic, I feel so ashamed of myself, my husband was trying to help me and I just started to shout and swear at him, I was so angry. I don’t like this ME. it’s totally out of character for me, but I don’t mean it and I really regret it afterwards. I am really angry with my self I think, it’s so frustrating. Thanks x

Hi Madchoc,

I can relate. When I'm fully engaged with OCD and under a lot of stress any interruption - even the kindest one and an offer to help - makes me angry and desperate. I then have to re-start with checking and this makes me angry. Also in general, the worse the OCD is on a certain day, the more aggressive and angry I am. Afterwards I'm always very sorry until the next time.

Yes i used to have anger come up in me quite often when my OCD was bad. Now it doesn't come up as much since my OCD is much better and the stress levels aren't so high. Though it still can come up from time to time.
