OCD is back :(

I am freaking out, because after having a huge breakdown due to my OCD about two years ago and building my life back up, I feel that it is creeping in again. Right now, the type of OCD I suffer from most is cheating OCD and believing that I have cheated on the guy I am dating when most likely, I haven't but I can never get that through my head.

I am scheduled to move 3 hours away from where I am to start my PhD and I am terrified that my OCD is going to make this impossible for me. I guess I just need someone to talk to about this because no one else in my life can really understand what I am going through and it is so hard sometimes. :( I am depressed all the time lately.

When I was in intensive therapy, I hit a downfall and was convinced I was back where I started and everything was in crisis.  My therapist helped me gain a little perspective, using this process:


On a scale of 1-10, where were you when OCD was at its worst?


On a scale of 1-10, where were you during your best day in treatment?


On a scale of 1-10, where are you in this moment?


For what it's worth, this at least helped me put it into perspective and develop a little optimism.


 


Hope this helps!

OCD is not an adjective. It's a disorder.

Hi, I know how you feel but keep on fighting this.  Don't let it win.  You'll be fine with the PhD, just don't give up.  I studied for 5 years, two diplomas and a degree...with OCD and I've done it.  JUst do it.  J
