Hi,
I also noticed a connection between thyroid dysfunction and worsening of the same kind of ocd symptoms (making lists and writing things down). I have had bouts of both hyper and hypothyroidism but my ocd got worse during the hyperthyroid period.
If that is what is underlying your increased obsessiveness, it seems that the most effective way to deal with it would be to treat the thyroiditis. Are you receiving treatment for it now?
It is difficult enough to suffer from such a troubling disorder as ocd; the complications caused by additional endocrine imbalances are downright unbearable!
Hope you feel better,
Kari.
