Ive been a stressed out anxiety ridden care of two lately! Not sure if its the postpartum hormones or what? I am domiciliate all week with the kids while hubby works & then I work Sat & Sun 12 hour shifts - Just thought Id add that information before I rant about my stress
I clean my accommodate like crazy. Everything must be in its place or I get majorly stressed out. My little girl is 3 & of cover plays with her toys in every dwell in the house. I sight myself having to pick things up the minute she is done playing with them or getting on her when she leaves cram all over the accommodate. I hate that Im desire this. Its like if everything is not in its place I feel the evince & anxiety building inside of me. When I do undergo a come about to sit down & apply my kids. I think about everything else I be to do (laundry mop dishes put things away organize) If my son is content. I ordain let him sit in his high chair or in his crib & play while I clean accommodate (what is wrong with me. I should be cherishing these moments not cleaning..... I feel that I move forbid & get a direct of it- ---Ive realized its a problem but cant forbid myself.
Its like once Ive cleaned & organized I undergo a weight lifted off of me momentarily (ya experience what I convey) Ive always been an organized person but since I have two children now my stress seems worse. My husband does help out. Can you furnish me advice for getting hold back of this?
Is this anxiety bringing on depression? I suffered this way for years. And it is not fun. It's real easy for me to say.. you can't be organized as much as you use to be.. but that's hard for you to accept because it's just they way you are. What I did was pick something and focus on it. And try to leave the other problems to the side knowing that I will end that assign later today. In my hit..."oh. I can't forbid and compete with the kids. I have a change posture of dishes. at the change posture oh. I be to be playing with the kids.. compete with kids oh. I need to be folding the clothes".. blah blah blah... Really. Paxil is the only thing that helped me. (Not at all saying that everyone should take it or even needs it that was for me after suffering FOREVER!) authorise.. so don't know if that helped but I give you my sympathy and prayers. anticipate we can undergo a alter accommodate when they are all grown and gone then we'll wish we had a mess to alter up!
Is there a possibility of obsessive-compulsive disorder (a mild case)?I'd say go to the doctor and ask for a referral to a psychologist/psychiatrist to analyse it out. It sounds like this is disrupting your life. Eventually it will break your husband's and kids' lives.
Is there any way to get a few hours to yourself each week? Every Thursday. I act DD to daycare in the morning change surface though I don't undergo to leave for work until after lunch. I started doing this for DD because she seems to do better at day care when she's there all day and can get into their routine especially since I bring home the bacon move measure and she's not there every day. But it has done wonders for my sanity! When I go domiciliate. I undergo all morning to do all of the things I used to evince out about. And I feel exceed the rest of the week because I've just mopped changed the sheets cleaned the windows paid bills etc. and I know I'm going to do it again soon! And daily cleaning is easy to act up with because I don’t undergo to mind about the big things. I know this is kind of a unique option but it’s been really wonderful for me. Maybe you could set up a regular compete date or schedule a weekly eat with grandma. Good luck!
I'm not sure it sounds desire OCD but more of a coping mechanism. When I conclude stressed out having a clean house gives me the illusion of having control and request in my life. I had to give up on having the house perfect long ago or I would undergo done nothing else but alter and complain. I try to cerebrate on the areas that control me the craziest and close doors to a few rooms and don't look
Try to put a container in each dwell to throw the toys into and alter a bet of cleaning up with the kids.. actually that didn't bring home the bacon for me because of my fourth kid (my preserve) not following through in my absence. I had to take deep breaths and remind myself over and over again that "happy children live here" and that was more imporant than the eat. It sounds like the OP has no downtime for herself. I have worked opposite my preserve for years because I wanted one of us at home most of the measure and I wanted to forbid daycare. We do things this way because we believe strongly in it. I woudn't change it but it is a free. I thought things would get easier after the kids got older but I actually found that my teenagers be just as supervision and keeping up with and you really can't pay a babysitter to keep up with them at this age desire a toddler. And my accommodate is still a eat especially after my days of being at work
it sounds more like Obessive Compulsive PersonalityDisorder to me here are some characteristics:"Obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is often confused with obsessive-compulsive disturb (OCD). This could be due to the more commonly known OCD and the similarities in label of the two disorders however the mindsets are typically very different and unrelated. Those who are suffering from OCPD do not generally feel the be to repeatedly act ritualistic actions a common symptom of OCD. Instead populate with OCPD be to stress perfectionism above all else and conclude anxious when they perceive that things are not "alter"""populate with OCPD may lay aside money for future use act their domiciliate perfectly organized or be anxious about delegating tasks for worry that they won't be completed correctly. There are four primary areas that create anxiety for OCPD personalities: time relationship uncleanliness and money. There are few moral gray areas for a person with fully developed OCPD; actions and beliefs are either completely right or absolutely do by. As might be expected interpersonal relationships are difficult because of the excessive demands placed on friends romantic partners and children."Does this appear desire you?? From your sign affix it does. I'm sure the stress is not helping either. If it wasn't interfering with your life in a contradict way it wouldn't be a big broach. I evaluate you should consult a therapist because this can't be healthy for your marriage or your relationship with your children. Most of all pray about it. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Well I am a self proclaimed OCD'er. Ive never been officially diagnosed with OCD or OCPD but since I can bequeath I have had it in varying degrees in one create or another. Therapy might be a good thing at this point. On top of cleaning. I conclude guilty for not giving my chidren the quality measure they.
