Yes! Living in the north, or far south, is not good for your mental health. In Sweden it is practically impossible to get the enough-to-function level of Vitamin D during autumn and winter. They even put Vitamin D in our groceries to combat the problem. I react even harder than my friends on the winter in Sweden, so I've already now started to come up with plans how to escape the Nordic winter next time.
your ocd feeds on your current mood. normally when theres nothing positive your ocd is gonna be like ha ha have this irrational fear and SUFFER!!! if its great weather outside literally grab your ear plugs and take a long walk. go to like one of those candy vendor stores and fill up on your favorite candy for home. if the weathers shit wrap yourself in a blanket light a candle and make yourself a hot beverage. quietly sing yourself like a lullaby or something and just embrace comfort. thats how i cope.
Luckily in my country there is just summertime or winter, and winter is only rain so it’s not that big of a differencs
I live on the same latitude as southern Alaska in the US, and Scotland in the UK.
I’m under a lot of stress right now between getting sick , getting my period , moving to a new apartment , and going on vacation next week. I feel like it’s made me distant and my partner focused OCD has gotten so much worse along with ROCD and SOOCD. I feel like I’ve been so hypercritical of my boyfriend and feeling nothing towards him and that stresses me out because last week when I was clear and my OCD had calmed down I felt so lovey dovey towards him. Now I just feel like a menace so I’m wondering if this happens to anyone else?
I'm doing a bit better. I stopped obsessing over my eye sight and stopped worrying about what if i have a brain tumor. But now seasonal depression is hitting. I live in lithuania so the weather is horrible and it gets dark at 4pm. I was doing really bad last year at this time of year and I feel the sadness, pain and overwhelmingness trying to drown me again. But I can say that this makes my OCD more silent because I don't really care about anything anymore
Hi all! So I’m home from college now for winter break and I was just curious: does anyone else’s OCD spike when coming home for the holidays? Like having an uptick in intrusive thoughts related to family members, being home, just surrounding that theme? Would appreciate input! It makes me feel so isolated. ..
