im a mother of 2 kids and iv never been to a doctor about my problems because i ignore them but they are ruining my life, its clearly having effects on my kids and husband. i feel stupid opening up to other family because when i have tried to in the past its not taken seriously.
im not sure how i feel but these are some of the things that control my life to the point of isolation!
OCD- cleaning! im obsessed, hot washing, vacuming up to 4 times a day, toilet cleaning up to 5 times a day, washing my kidshands, changing their clothes when my house is spotless i become happy and i can sit down and relax the feeling is really good but its tiring me. i dont take the kids to child care, indoor play groups, interaction with other kids except family doesnt happen. 1 of my childen are school age this mile stone thats suposed to be wonderful, has caused me terrible anxiety. im worry- stress every day wondering if he will fall sick. my phobia is vomit, i had not nice dreams im vomiting or someone else near me is. this happens around 3 times a month.. comes to the point i often ask my child if hes feeling ok. i cant live like this anymore and im noticing its getting worse i just dont know what to do.. i know what im thinking is STUPID! but i cant help to feel and think the way i do!.
i get anxiety standing in line at the supermarket, at public groups like partys, i avoid going to places alone even if i have one of my kids with me i feel better about going. im sort of anti social i feel smothered if i am having a busy week or having too much interaction with other people it causes me stress. i cant go into service stations the thought gives me a bit of anxiety too many people in and out and im paranoid filling my car up. before i had kids i avoided applying for jobs that involved alot of communication with people. i prefer factory, cleaning jobs.
some history. biological father had bi polar, drug abuse, OCD like behavious and commited suicide. my uncle had depression and also commited suicide. im not suicidal!!!! i make that clear but when i read ifo about anxiety- depression is also talked about and does this sort of disorders run in familys??
alot of my problems are obsessive thinking to the point i get no sleep. i also experiance waves... for a few weeks i will feel like i have it all together and my symptoms are not much. if im having a bad wave i will not leave the house, not take my child to school for a week and something simple like going to the shop to buy milk causes me anxiety! im having a downer last couple of weeks, i suffer from psoriasis, im in the middle of selling my house and ontop of everything else i feel like im not coping!
thankyou for listening
