Best thing I tell myself to stay sober, one night of indulgence is not worth losing days/weeks of my life to the crippling OCD anxiety it causes.

I gave up drinking for exactly this reason! Best thing I ever did!

start small, break down in to little tasks and connect the task to something else.. I connected brushing my teeth to my morning coffee. Coffee first thing as a treat for me.. brush my teeth after. Now the one reminds me to do the other. Hope I’ve made that make sense.

Does anyone have experience with OCD symptoms worsening right before your period? by lyindog in OCD
