Last Monday I was obsessing pretty bad and it continued through Wednesday. I was referred to an article by Dr. Steven Phillipson about relationship substantiation obsessions and realized that that's my particular form of OCD. After reading this article, my obsessions started to subside and by Friday I was feeling almost like my old self, with no obsessions or anxiety. Saturday I got up and ran errands all day and then went to a charity event with my husband and some of his coworkers. I had a great time and had about 6 glasses of wine to drink. I wasn't drunk by any means, but had I continued drinking, I would have been. I didn't take my meds that night – for some reason if I've had more than a glass or two to drink, I don't take my meds. Sunday I woke up and had big plans to
start decorating my house for Xmas and do some baking. My husband went to a football game so I could do whatever I wanted. Instead of doing anything I had planned to do, I did nothing. I just sat and watched TV all day. I was feeling some anxiety and started to worry that I would wake up this morning depressed and obsessing again. For the past couple weeks, my cycle has been to get up on Monday and be very sad, obsessing and depressed. By the end of the week, I'm feeling much better. Then Saturday and Sunday come and by Sunday evening I'm getting anxious and worried and possibly obsessing.I've never been this up and down with my obsessing and anxiety before. Why is this happening?
