OCD on weekends

[HIMYM24]

Do any of you worry about weekends and being at home with OCD? Does any of your symptoms get worse on weekends?

What do you do on weekends to make sure your ocd doesn't peak?

I have experienced the same issue with weekends but things have gotten better when I started to recognize that it was related to having less structure in my day. I suggest to come up with a plan or itinerary of sorts. It doesn’t have to be super detailed and you can plan some relaxing time, but make a to do list and the structure could help you focus more on the activity and less your thoughts.

Yes, I have the same dread about the weekends. The thing that works for me is to start both days with exercise. One day I make a short trip to go hiking or to the beach and run and the next day start with walking or running around my neighborhood and then I'm in a much better place to get the stuff done around the house like laundry etc. Otherwise the weekends would be a downward spiral. I wish you the best in this!
