I am learning as I go. I woke up yesterday morning feeling so good....as the day went, things seemed to go downhill. But this morning, the sun was out and things were bright and beautiful....oh, and my husband was home too....it helps me HUGE when I have him home to help me keep my mind off of things.
I have also found out thru my scanning the internet a lot about how nutrition is a big deal when dealing with OCD and depression.
Vitamin C, Magnesium, Vitamin B-Complex....etc....huge difference. One big deal for me was quitting caffeine....I did it. Cold turkey....it is NOT the way to go for most people, but my OCD symptoms were going over the top and I was getting scared and desperate. I figured nothing could hurt....and you know what? I am doing much better. I found out that if I reduce the stress, that the obsessions and compulsions seem to wane away. I always thought it was just the opposite, it I could stop the compulsions, then the stress would go.
Another thing I have found out is that people with high histimine levels(allergies, etc) tend to deal with OCD and the like. I take Zyrtec D and had not taken it for a while. I can see the connection on that as well. If I am taking my Zyrtec D, it is an antihistimine and actually helps me.
I will have to blog more on this again, but for now, just something to think about.
I have started eating healthy again....whole grains, yogurts, bananas, proteins, etc....
I will go into more detail in the next posting....hang in there....
