I thought I'd join the mental health forum, I don't think I've posted here before.

My Ds is poorly at the moment and I haven't slept much for a week, I'm tired and stressed and feel like my head could explode for all the thoughts.

I have OCD, I obsess about clean hands, have a fear of biological and chemical contamination contamination as well as general dirt. I also have harm OCD, if anyone has this it would be good to get/give support from people who fully understand this obsession.
Today I had scary thoughts after seeing a film clip and has given me anxiety.
I forgot how awful it is as I've been doing so well.

I know exactly what you mean love, the more I read about MH the more I worry. It's a vicious circle.

Don't get me wrong I love working too. I don't think I could be a SAHM as much as I love my little boys they are both now as school and nursery n I get too bored doing nothing.

I think I'm struggling today due to being tired n long first day at work :/

Hope you enjoy relaxing in the bath with ur magazine's. I've just finished reading a book called 'shit my days says' can def recommend it if you are looking for a funny read :) x x

Hi I'm not feeling too bad today considering I didn't get to sleep until 3am.
My head was buzzing about random shite.
Working for me can raise anxieties because of the doubts I get and making mistakes (last job was auxiliary nurse) I worried about causing people to die.
Being a SAHM is not always great, although I'm busy it's not the "right kind" of busy iykwim.
I hate my brain too Sad
But on the plus side I'm not feeling too awful today (yet anyway).
I will be making wholemeal scones today, of Ds let's me.
I have so much washing to do, looking at the pile is enough to depress me Grin

I have an office job so don't have to worry about any major mistakes Smile

I am feeling okay today too...looking forward to getting home to my family Grin the weather where I am has been lovely the past few days and I think it really helps lift the mood!

Scones sound lovely!!! If you bring them round later I'll make us a cuppa, lol! X x

I am having an good day too. Let's hear it for Tuesdays, though I have just eaten loads of Maltesers. My biggest challenge today was to create farm animal footprints out of potato ( I work in a reception class)
