I've been experiencing one all day today. I'm OCD and Cyclothymic, and this morning, I just woke up feeling frustrated about everything. I mean, EVERYTHING. I was frustrated about having to eat, I was frustrated at my hunger, I'm frustrated at needing to sleep at all, and not being able to just stay up 24 hours a day...I'm frustrated at the state of my apartment, and I'm frustrated because it seems like no matter how much I clean, it's STILL dirty and nasty, and everything around me just feels filthy, I feel filthy, and my shower needs cleaning, so even after I take a shower I still feel unclean. I'll start one thing, and I'll be frustrated because I'm not doing something else, and then when I do the "something else," I'm frustrated because I'm not doing the first thing! I'm frustrated at having to brush my teeth or use the bathroom...it's like it sinks into every single aspect of my day, and I don't know how to handle it.
Has anyone else ever experienced this?
I know what you're talking about. It happens to me at least once or twice a week. Throughout the whole day i'll be so frustrated and angry about everything because it seems like i'm not getting any time to have any fun even though I might be doing something fun at the time. But all the things i'm doing that are usually fun just don't seem fun when i'm frustrated like that. I especially hate going to school because I have to sit there and I only get to talk to my friends a little bit during the day and it seems like I have to do all this stuff. When I get homework I get really frustrated because it's like when do I get time to relax and when I do get time to relax I find that there's nothing fun to do.
I understand that OCD is different for everyone. I was looking through the Dr. Phil archive website, and I came across this woman slideshow about her OCD and how Dr. Phil got her treatment.
It looks like it is a treatable condition. What I like about Dr. Phil is that he knows how to get the right people, and it's sad that some of us spend quiet sometime finding the right treatment. I know that for certain people it's a matter of committment to get treatment on their part, but some people don't get the right treatments so easily.
I wish Dr. Phil would tell us how to find the right therapists.
