My mood could be frustrated, too, along with many other feelings. My husband is upset with me because some of my OCD emotional turmoils have showed their ugly sides in the last couple of weeks. He says when the OCD takes over I shut him out. I hide in the bedroom and don’t want to come out. I stop eating, sleeping, and talking. I’m not saying he’s wrong. This happens when my OCD ferris wheel in my head gets overloaded. Not enough seats for all the "stuff" that is trying to get on. I have alot of stress in my life right now and when that happens OCD starts to take control. I manage a dog daycare, yes it sounds like fun, however, employees get bit when they are careless, clients don’t get charged the right amount, so I hear about it, and the owners are AWOL most of the time. I’m taking on-line classes to get certified as a dog trainer and I leave in one week to spend a week in Virginia to get certified in Dog Massage Therapy. Lots of stuff on my plate and so OCD says……I can get her now….and it does. Husband said stop it before you end up at the bottom again because he can’t handle it when I get like this. He thinks since I’ve been dealing with this for 15+ years that I should just be able to take control and move on. I so want to move on and not let OCD do it’s ugly stuff, but easier said than done. Two years ago it got so bad that I ended up in the hospital and a month off work for medical reasons. I don’t want to get to that point, I feel as if I’m close, but I’m still plugging away at work, school, and life.
