Ocd support thread

[Elusiveone]

Ive noticed we dont have a ocd support thread so thought i would start one if anyone would like to join. Im a safety ocd checker. I check doors windows plugs and the cooker. Every night is my ritual mainly but also check before i go out anywhere. Had cbt therapy and now onto group therapy in october

Forgot to mention i have anxiety to and on propranalol 40mg three times a day

Safety checker too...

Hi worriedaboutboy hope your ok and may i ask how long have you been a safety checker. Myself two years and cant seem to break the cycle

Hi, I'm diagnosed OCD.

My 'habits' are floors, I get all panicky about having clean floors, I can be ok for some weeks, but others I'm going through 3 bottles of carpet cleaner and about 17 bottles of bleach a week.

But to be honest I can live with that, it's the intrusive thoughts I can't, they destroy me.

It's nice to have somewhere to talk about it. X

Hello....I don't really know how long it has been going on. On and off for a good few years. Happens before bed and when I go out. On setraline for overall anxiety.
