To feel disappointed in my OCD

I have severe OCD. Reccomended for specialist OCD treatment. I throw so much away. Sometimes I buy things that are expensive and throw them away through my OCD urges
My mental health team have disregarded that completly and i feel a tad angry that they never actually got round to helping my OCD with therapy only medication. Bear in mind at one point my OCD make preparing food hard and i ended up nearly ending up in hospital after starving myself for ages. Today I have thrown away probably over a 100 quid worth of items. Lovey shoes that were 20 quid. A dress. Fancy makeup. A nice bag. And i feel upset I didnt fight the OCD enough but also a tad sad that the mental health system just doesn't support mentally ill people any more in the ways they need.

Hi Kittycuddles

We know this is an old thread but as it's been reanimated now we thought we'd just post a few links to organisations that may be of use (to you or anyone else struggling with OCD).

We're not sure if you've heard of an organisation called Mind, but they have plenty of advice and support which may help you right now.

Here's a link to their webpage about Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour

And here's a link to their page on Self-harm

They have practical tips on what you can do when you feel like this and where to get urgent help. Maybe take a look and see if there’s anything which might be helpful right now.

Please do think about exploring some of the options in the link above. Samaritans are there for you too, 24/7, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123. You can also see the resources in our Mental Health webguide.

By the way, we've moved your thread over to our Mental Health topic - we can see you're getting good support here but AIBU can be a bit robust at times.

We really hope you're okay. Flowers
