@OCDLifeCA Haha thanks. It's because I had the thought whilst coughing that I felt I needed to cough when I compulsed

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

I have a cough which hurts. When I cough I'm having intrusive thoughts, so when I compulse I'm making myself cough whilst doing it, which means more pain, more stress and more obsessing and compulsing. #

@T_J_J1958 Hi TJJ. thanks for the reply, it's something I was doing in CBT so think I'll have to start doing them again. My OCD seems to centre on religion, even though I'm not very religious, and the possibility that others may get punished for my thoughts. It's a complicated one

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

@T_J_J1958 It's been strange this week. Felt ok then all of a sudden I've gone back a few years, just with the stress of a couple of things, and then intrusive thoughts related to the stress. Thanks for the reply

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

This year, I've had CBT. It helped some symptoms, but the pressure of this time of year, and being I'll with flu, has caused me to have a bit of a relapse the last couple of weeks

@smilinglaura @David_Cameron Not a fan of conservatives, but the country was crying out for a referendum on Europe and they gave us one, it's called democracy, how can that be criticised?

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

Is someone able to talk to me about #ocd, and scrupulosity?

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

I've had intrusive thoughts this morning, then I've seen things that related to them. On one occasion, I went back to check what I'd seen and it wasn't there anymore which has made things even worse, it's like someone knows my thoughts and is placing things about to prove them

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

@RuthHarries5 Thank you, it's a tough one to deal with

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

Yesterday some scratches appeared on my arm, out of nowhere. My mind is telling me it's a demonic attack and its strengthened my #ocd

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

@MostlyMeNotOCD Thank you. It's really set me up for a bad day and because of a couple of other things that have happened today my ocd and anxiety have gone I to overdrive

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

@MostlyMeNotOCD Always worry that it's not though, and maybe it is something sinister, which makes the ocd worse

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

Seem to be a little stuck in thought this morning, logging in and put of my computer again #ocd

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

Been trying not to compulse today and it hadn't been too bad but the anxiety is there and I've hit a bad spot right now #ocd

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

I'm feeling nervous today about what #ocd will do, how it will affect me etc. But I hope anyone else suffering has a good day

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

Have a good day everybody #ocd #anxiety

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

@MoTomkins Thank you

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

I think I'm having a breakdown today, I can't function at all, every moment I have a thought, I compulse and I have the thought again, but I can't carry on with anything until I get rid of it. I'm paralyzed with fear, and I feel like I've doomed everybody I care about #ocd

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

@Theodore_Nolan @Ladyannafoster @TheOCDStories You're right, don't feed the monster. Its just proving easier said than done

[TheOCDyorkshireman @OCDyorkshireman]

@Theodore_Nolan @Ladyannafoster @TheOCDStories Its tough, I know that if certain things that could happen in the future actually do, then it's because I've not compulsed now, I'm driven to it really
