I started having this problem when I was pregnant in 2006 (The trigger was heartburn & extreme nausea),recovered with zoloft & family support.Relapsed in 2009(triger was isolation due to thyroid cancer treatment) ,again recoverd with meds.I was off zoloft from last 1 year,lately there were some issues within the family, so had been emotionally upset for a while & now going through another relapse.
It feels absolutely terrible as I know OCD is never cured,and last 2 relapses have proved it.But I'm also hopeful as 2 relapses occured under stress & I was not under therapy or medication.The fact that I have had this obsession gone twice gives me some relief.
But the OCD in me worries that there will be many more relapses & my life will be consumed.I have a husband & 2 little girls..and i really don't like that this obsession with mouth is taking over my life.Has anyone had this kind of problem gone for a long time?
If you relapsed,was it under stress?and were you taking your meds at that time?
Thanks all.
