Could be good or bad . . .

One of my OCD "issues" has to do with the time of day I take a shower. The last time I had a stomach bug it was after I took a shower at 9:00 p.m. The time before that I took a shower at 8:00 p.m. Since then I have avoided taking showers at those specific times. I will take one after 8:15, 9:15, just as long as I'm not "in" the shower on the hour.


So, tonight my husband came home from work late and asked me if I wanted to take a shower with him. No one else was home and since we have been living with my mom we haven't had much "alone" time so I didn't even think about it and said yes. When we got out I looked at the clock and I was in there at 9:00.


So, now I am worrying that I have cursed myself into having a sv tonight. I am trying to reassure myself that shower time has nothing to do with getting a sv. SInce I haven't been seeing my therapist lately, my OCD is creeping back up on me. This, though, is one thing I never conquerred with my therapist.


So, if I do good tonight and don't get a sv, that should be an accidental triumph for me. My stomach starting feeling "off" but I think i tis from worrying about it. I am trying to think positive so I can get over this hurdle. Wosh me luck! I will update tomorrow!

I know how it is with the superstitions. I'm sure you're fine, tho.[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

I think you'll be fine, but I can understand. We all have our "triggers" and many times those are memories. If it all turns out well (which I assume it will) I expect a post in the Triumph section from you!!! [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

Well . . . . I didn't wake up in the middle of the night with a sv or anything! I really don't feel all that well today, but I am attributing it to normal pregnancy yucks. It's 90 degrees here, which I normally love but when you are 8 months pregnant it gets a little uncomfortable. Overall, I just feel yucky. I ache all over, I feel hungry but don't want to eat, I feel super exhausted and have been a little dizzy. I wonder if my blood pressure if creeping up.


But, as far as my OCD goes, I would consider this experience a triumph rather than a pitfall.

Ugh, I feel for you with the pregnancy and being hot. I was sooo hot with both my pregnancies, and I was pregnant with both in the fall/winter/spring. It can make you feel so yucky. Do you have any popsicles or nice cool treats?

Nothing in the world tastes better than frozen fruit on a hot summer day! I love frozen blueberries and raspberries. Cold and nutritious too. Good, even when the heat makes you feel like not eating.
