Thank you for the compliment, and I'm glad that I was able to help you in some way.
Are you taking any medications at the moment?
I don't think the restlessness is linked to OCD, at least in my case. I have experienced it before, usually as a side-effect of taking medications, though this time it just reappeared alongside all my other symptoms.
A few months ago, I was able to stay at a friend's house for 8 weeks while they were away. None of my physical symptoms changed, but 70% of my anxiety -- especially the constant fear and hypervigilance while my family is around -- disappeared. I hadn't known what it was like to feel safe and relaxed like that for 6 years now ..
I feel 90% sure that if I hadn't been forced into this living environment, I wouldn't be in this position now ..
And, of course, the kicker is that I am blamed by my family for not being able to cope.
