Really bad flare up at work
How do y’all keep going? Especially when there’s work to do

Focus on your work and let the thoughts play in the background—as you should be doing anyways because that is self ERP. The more you focus n your OCD and give into it, the worse it gets. So, practice mindfulness and when you catch yourself drifting off with your thoughts and feelings, compassionately bring yourself back to the present.

@Nica Thank you so much, this helped me a lot. I tried to sideline the feelings as much as possible, which may have been avoidance but it at least got me through my shift. I will have to do some more research on how to be mindful. Thanks again. ♥️

Here with you on this. Trying to stay focused on work has been a struggle today because I had a flare up in the morning at home. Talking to my coworkers and taking more little breaks than usual has helped

@Cr1 I’m sorry to hear that. :( Mine started at work and it has been a disaster so far. Will definitely be taking as many “bathroom” breaks as possible just so I can breathe 😭 Take care!! ♥️

@Cr1 Unfortunately I work alone in my department so I typically don’t have coworkers close by, but I hope I can make friends soon

Flare ups when stressed.
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?

How do I get out of a Flare Up
Im having a OCD specifically contamination OCD flare up all month and I don’t want to feel this way going into March, I’ve thrown out clothes, towels, stayed up for hours doing compulsions, washed my hands till they crack and bleed, I have washing pilling up cause I’m so overwhelmed by all the extra things I’ve added cause I thought it was contaminated. It’s completely draining me to the point where I’ve become sleep deprived and are avoiding part of my home because they are deemed contaminated to me…I only moved in a few months ago, I had a roach problem and using baits and insecticides really messed with my ocd too. anyone have any tips or tricks to make this easier? I wasn’t doing this bad in January :( thankyou in advance :)
