Really fucking bad ocd all of a sudden?

This feeling is kind of new but I’ve had OCD for a while but it’s never been SUPER bad. Now I feel like within the past few months my OCD has taken a turn for the worst. I literally can’t touch certain things/surfaces/objects, can’t look at certain things, need to quadruple check every little thing/make sure everything is put away and facing the right direction, etc. I also haven’t been able to bring myself to walk barefoot anywhere. Also sometimes I get super uncomfortable and when I close my eyes I can see really ugly shapes (figures; not people or anything just like literally shapes: circles, squares, etc) that freak me the FUCK out. It makes my skin crawl and I don’t know what to do. I also have obsessive thoughts. About everything. If I don’t make sure something is facing the right direction or isn’t closed all the way I get a terrible urge and aching feeling. I’ve been trying to control myself and tell myself “no” but sometimes it doesn’t work. It’s gotten to a point where it affects me physically. Like I need to look a certain way, eat specific things, exercise multiple times daily, etc. What the fuck do I do??? Please help!!!

  • Antidepressants plus benzos is the psychiatric treatment of OCD.

    I rather suspect that OCD will become more common as a result of the Covid 19 virus.

  • It’s no problem, I wasn’t exactly specific about that. Thank you for your concern! I have a therapist but these new obsessions/feelings are new so I haven’t brought them up to her. Thanks for the tip!
