I didn't see one of these for OCD and I hope it's in the right place
Does anyone here have OCD or anxiety disorders? I have bipolar type II, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Writing used to come naturally to me. It was like the characters wrote the story and I just had to write it down. Now its like pulling teeth to write one word after the other. I haven't liked writing for awhile. I don't think it's my medication because I've written before just fine while on my bipolar meds and my OCD/Anxiety medication is in very small doses.
Because of my OCD I get crippling anxiety if I write what I truly want to write (has to do with the subject matter). I went months without writing at all. Now I'm compromising and writing what I know won't give me anxiety. But I still have anxiety from having to struggle so hard to find the words. I'm forcing myself to write because that's the only advice I've ever heard. I write everyday for an hour and I hate it. Anyone experiencing the same thing or have advice.
