Having a rough week dealing with my OCD

[Bentleywins]

It seems as more health issues pop up, my OCD gets worse. Trying to just let it be is not working for me.

OCD does flare up, when you going through any type of stress.

The same thing happens to me also.

It could be another health issue, dealing with dysfunctional family.

In OCD, it is hard to just let it be.

OCD never quits with its symptoms.

Thus, a way which has worked, is to sit with the anxiety, in the room,

and go over the feared consequences, of whatever OCD is making you doubt.

The anxiety can only reach a certain level, then that thought will fade away.

Hope it helps.

I've had ocd since childhood but, not to this extreme. Im wondering if with aging does ocd get worse?

[Hidden in reply to MrsMapdog]

I had severe OCD when I was younger in age.

I do not think it is affected by age.

I was diagnosed at 72, a shock to myself.
