OCD here (not the kind people joke about when they want things tidy; the kind that messes up the way you talk, think, act, etc.) I hated that I needed to get on meds but it really helped level me out. I'll pray for you. One thing I can say about a life of suffering is that the hard times do give way to good times eventually. Hang in there.
I have the ADHD and OCD comorbidities commonly associated with Autism. My OCD tendencies are pretty mild, but cause problems. I understand what its like. OCD is not a joke. For me, I need routine and stability. The chaos caused by the shutdowns, muzzle wearing, and isolation have impacted me a lot. I have become disfuncional and can't even do my chores. My bedroom is a disorganized mess and it drives me crazy, but I am too stressed to do anything. It's crazy. I also hated to get meds. I will keep you in my prayers. Together, with GOD, we can get through anything. GOD bless you.
Thank you! There was a time I couldn't look five minutes ahead without having the life drain out of me, but God was and still is always there. Just take it day by day and reward yourself when you get something done. Feels odd at first, but it really helps. With a lot of prayer, I was even able to quit the two packs per day of cigarettes. God is good and He doesn't put you through trials without bringing good out of them.
I've done a huge amount of research, especially since I started to have problems with the covid insanity. Undiagnosed ADHD and ASDs is a major issue, but the problem is far greater for girls. There is a lot of ongoing research trying to fix the problem.
I work in a field that attracts ADHD people. I know many lady engineers who clearly display ADHD tendencies. If I were you, I'd do some research. For Autism, which often is accompanied by ADHD, there is the Autism Self Advocacy Network. They have a lot of info regarding Autism/ADHD in women.
