OCD anyone???

Does anyone else get OCD symptoms? Do you know what causes it?

After getting sick the 2nd time in 2015, I've gotten increasingly OCD. At first, I thought it was understandable that I was compulsively searching the internet looking for clues to what was making me sick, as doctors were as slow as molasses and all my tests came back normal no matter how bad my symptoms got.

After learning about Lyme and coinfections this year, I realize that the OCD is likely just one of my many symptoms. For the past few days, I've spent HOURS on this site reading, posting, and re-reading the same stuff over again. It's embarrassing to admit that. It makes me feel like a looney and a loser.

I used to have days at least once a month where I had mental clarity and was disciplined like a drill sergeant and got stuff done. Those days were when I had PMS. Now that I don't have regular periods anymore, I can't even count on a clear head once a month.

Somebody please tell me I'm not the only one and that it will go away as I get better.

I was the same way a few months back with the OCD. It was AWFUL!!! Not as bad with it now but everyday I get an episode with severe crying spells and depression. You are not alone

That doesn't sound like OCD to me. OCD people would read over stuff and miss their appointments with their doctor, miss babysitting their kids and not show up for work. Searching for answers for yourself is not OCD.
