Hi SueM,
I am a diagnosed OCD sufferer,not the cleaning kind but intrusive thoughts.
I have heard of people suffering from OCD after they've had a baby so hormones could play a part in it
Does the cleaning and pottering around make you anxious,especially when you want to do it,and then when it's done you are relieved,but a little while after you want to do it again?
Since meno, especially when depression sets in,my OCD rears it's ugly head and then the anxiety comes in then the OCD then anxiety,more depression it's a vicious cycle.
I take medication for the OCD,Fluoxetine AD and also Mirtazapine AD for the anxiety.
I have had OCD all my life but only diagnosed 9 years ago.
