OCD: Intrusive Thoughts
Ever since the middle of my menstrual cycle this month, I have been having awful intrusive thoughts. They can range from violence to disease to lifestyle changes. I know that these thoughts are completely irrational, but my mind still obsesses over them. Usually the thoughts will go away within a few weeks (an agonizing few weeks if you ask me) but then are replaced by even worst thoughts. It is like my mind comes up with these awful scenarios, and I can't do anything but sit back and let them run their course, and try to preoccupy myself while my mind is in complete, utter turmoil.
I think that I have a touch of ADD, and possibly a hormonal imbalance, which I'm going to see the doctor for. My father has paranoia and ADHD (though not diagnosed with any disorder). My mother also has a touch of OCD.
So, could I have OCD, or do you have any other suggestions? I have always obsessed over things, and it got quite bad just last year, but this last week has just been horrific!
Thanks (and sorry for making this so long!!!)

The best, and hardest thing to do, is ignore it. You want to acknowledge the thought, realize it's just a thought, and let it go. It can't hurt you and it in no way changes the type of person you are. I was worried that I was losing my mind or that I was about to become a serial killer. Not true. Hang in there and see your doctor ASAP!
