My OCD Day

Documenting my day-to-day experience with OCD. It's a strong community and we're in this together.

OCD gone wild: Tried to feel my heart beating last night while half asleep, couldn't, then in flies thought "Am I dead?" Unbelievable mind

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

My #ocd gets worse when there's tragedy in the world, which sadly, is often. I try to avoid the news sometimes, but I work in news field.

The Sunday night anxiety is kicking in. Figured I'd have outgrown that by now, but guess not. Back to work on Monday.

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

Sometimes when I differ with someone on an issue, they credit my OCD. But many times it's not. Working on improving understanding of OCD.

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

@flickeringwisp I know that feeling. It's tough, seemingly impossible, to keep the mind from racing with anxiety.

Was on conference call today from home. Is it #OCD if, when I talk and can't see people's faces, I assume they're laughing at me?

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

Someone asked me recently what the positives of having OCD are? I really had to think hard, but came up with "empathy for others."

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

@AveNocturna6 thank you

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

@AveNocturna6 I've popped out fillings!

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

Stressful times lately and my jaw is seriously hurting. For those with #OCD, do you find yourself clenching your teeth to the point of pain?

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

@itscristalslife I get those feelings too. Tough to get those thoughts out of our minds once we lock into them.

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

@itscristalslife Hi Cristal! I'm doing pretty well, how are you?

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

What book would you like to see that isn't out there already related to #OCD and/or #BDD?

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

Tricky thing about having #OCD is telling difference between a legitimate time to be freaked out and an OCD episode. I often can't tell.

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

Leaning toward going to high school reunion. H.S. was rough and add in undiagnosed #OCD. I have skipped others, but determined to go.

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

@OCPDme Are you doing ok now?

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

Often I over-analyze conversations I've had..Did I talk too much, too little? Feels like I was performing, now waiting for the reviews. #OCD

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

Yes I have #OCD and yes I've announced to friends that I'm going to try standup comedy. Nothing like cranking up the anxiety. But I'll do it

[My OCD Day @MyOCDDay]

This does a wonderful job of putting human face on the letters #OCD: https://t.co/ATwLSwtmTF

My memory isn't great, but when it comes to repetitions - I repeat long narratives in my head - I tend not to forget a word. That's #OCD.
