In reply to be gentle with me- is this my ocd?, posted by babs on May 25, 2003, at 18:28:33
Hi Babs -
I'm very sorry for your loss. I have OCD too, and when I'm under a lot of stress, it usually gets worse.
I'm glad Dinah mentioned this, because I was thinking along the same lines. I have a hard time buying it sometimes, but my therapist suggests the OCD thoughts may have a purpose in crowding out more unpleasant thoughts. (If that's the case, evolution sure has a looong way to go yet!)
I would echo the advice of not making any big decisions at this time. And seeing a therapist, if you haven't already, would probably be helpful. There are also grief counselors and support groups. And then there's always us here!
I hope things get better for you soon.
