paranoid about accidents
Question:
lately i cant stop worrying about anything. one night when i was coming home from work my windshields werent defrosted very well even though i scraped them as much as i could. the parking lot is often crowded with people and now I feel like I almost ran someone over because I didnt let the windshield clear. I fear i might have not seen someone and easily ran into them because the dummies dont use the crosswalk and just walk right down the middle where you leave the parking lot. I worry about a lot of incidents in the past. I’m always paranoid I might easily injure someone or myself. be it driving or just any kind of accident. I can always be more careful but I have a hard time worrying about things that have happened in the past and could have been a accident. I wish I could make it stop. I also find myself doing other ocd tpye behaviors. I will check my alarm clock maybe 10 times before I goto sleep to make sure its set. sometimes I go back and check my car several times to make sure my parking break is set. I bought the book brain lock and hopefully that will set me on the right track. also is there any evidence that fish oil helps treat ocd? thanks
Response:
Worrying that you may have run somebody over is possibly the most common and classical of OCD symptoms. At the end of the day, if you run someone over then you tend to know about it. Running somebody over is probably akin to going over a large speed hump or mounting a steep kerb – if it happens, you feel it, apart from anything else. And no, although you maybe shouldn’t have been fiddling with the radio, lighting a cigarette, etc, this makes no difference. That’s what I used to try and tell myself when I used to get these types of obsessive urges anyway. I found they gradually receded and have now practically disappeared. Brain Lock is a good book and gives a comprehensive incite into OCD and its causes. As for oily fish and OCD, that’s news to me! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Chris wrote: > lately i cant stop worrying about anything. one night when i was coming home > from work my windshields werent defrosted very well even though i scraped > them as much as i could. the parking lot is often crowded with people and > now I feel like I almost ran someone over because I didnt let the > windshield clear.

I take cod liver oil. It is super for your immune system, but another one of its supposed benefits is lowered agression which I take to mean anxiety and anger, and more blood flow to the brain i think. In any case, I have not noticed it doing anything to my OCD, but I doubt it hurts it. "Chris" <n…@email.com> wrote in message
