ecomum Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I have realised that my OCD seems to raise its head when things get too much, if I am coping with a lot at once and am starting to show signs of exhaustion. I want to try and identify this before it happens in the hope of preventing severe OCD flare ups. Does this sound like a likely contributing factor and a reasonable idea ? Thank you everyone.

Lollipop Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Makes sense to me. I had been thinking about what I could do to prevent getting to that point day to day so trying to sleep more. I didn't get much further than that though! Link to comment
PolarBear Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) We have talked about this often. Stress makes OCD worse. Lots written on the forum about it. Yes, reducing stress is always a good thing, but you also need to deal with your intrusive thoughts in a better way. Edited May 28, 2020 by PolarBear Link to comment
