Thank you for that - I was doing really well with my ROCD - even managed to get engaged and married and had managed to reduce the bouts of ROCD to about a day in a month when it used to run for a few weeks at a time with only a few days off inbetween... I'm now pregnant and since becoming pregnant the ROCD has come back full force.. I'm so scared - and exhausted trying to stop it... it's the worst possible time too cos i'm also suffering severe mood swings due to the hormones.
I was taking star flower a few months before i got pregnant to stabalise my hormones and i found that this had a fantastic positive effect on my anxiety.
When normal women suffer PMS or PMT i suffer a bout of anxiety and ROCD but the starflower kept it at bay
Now with all the pregnancy hormones i feel i'm going nuts again. I've not been on here in such a long time purely cos i didn't feel the need.
I'm hoping things will calm down again as i come to the end of the first trimester - I don't want to relive what happend in my first 2 pregnancies.
I've been wishing i had never been born this last week - the anger and resentment inside me has been all consuming and the ANTS wont' stop!
It's amazing to read your post as it's a reminder that i'm not going insane and that others also feel what i feel.
Good luck with your ROCD!!
