Introducing myself

Hello fellow OCD sufferers. Time to introduce myself. I am currently experiencing a giant spike in my OCD symptoms. I've been managing them for about 20 years pretty well with meds and therapy, and then COVID/quarantine, politics and extreme stress at work tipped me over the line. I have summers off, so I've been recovering at home and slowly improving. The anxiety and depression have been awful though. From what I've read about OCD, mine could probably be labeled as scrupulosity and harm. This site has been very comforting and it's so helpful to know others are feeling and dealing with similar stuff and still managing a life. Thanks for being here!
