Processing my ocd and paranoia

I have to write this all out its eating me alive.
My ocd gets worse each time i have to get dressed. It started out a few years ago (this particular obsession not the ocd) but it was pretty mild. I had to alternate which half of my body i put clothing on or something bad will happen. It went away after a year or so. But as many of you know im definitely in psychosis and when that started a couple weeks ago i had the intrusive thought about getting dressed again. Usually ill imagine a hallucination i had a few years ago where my dog wa sburning alive i saw and heard it happen. Everytime i get dressed my rules and ritual gets more complicated and i have to get redressed more and more times. Today it was 8 times and after the 7th when i made a mistake i lost control and slapped the wall as hard as i could. I barely even felt the pain at first. Then when i got home from work i got undressed and fot so anxious i had another metldown and flapped my hands and pulled at my hair but i hopped in the shower and that helped. In general im really paranoid that someone is after me whether it be the gov or my professor or my mom idk.

I love you MoonGarden. I read your posts and connect with you. I hope you feel better. Try Trileptal I always feel cheerier on it even though my pdoc took me off of it. She wants me to be on less meds.

Well thats always nice to hear!

Wow.

OCD can be tough! Your definitely a strong person.

I read your story but it didn’t say if you were on medication or if that medication was working.

I hope your paranoia ends and you feel better.

Im on medication. It wasnt working because i wasnt eating enough with it. Once i started eating more my paranoia and ocd symptoms subsided
