So although I am undiagnosed, I am 100% sure that I have ocd as have spoken to two friends who are mental health nurses and they have reccomended that I am and I have done extensive research online. I have a huge phobia of being touched by other people apart from my kids and husband and mum, and avoid every instance where i would need to be touched including hairdressers etc. I just cut my own hair. I take photos of every single appliance that could cause harm to myself, my children or anybody and even though i know that i have done things i will be convinced that i've left the taps full on and have to check multiple times, i check that my children are breathing up to 10 times a night. i get worried about leaving my children and have panics about them getting lost if they're with family or friends so stay with them every day apart from 6 hours a week where they stay with their dad and i work.my biggest irrational fear is my kids being taken off me by social services even though i know i'm a great mum and have nevr done anything even close to warrant a visit and all of my symptoms grow when i am stressed or worried. I am very good at internalising everything but other people pick up on some things. when i leave the house my oh and parents will check the door for me after ive locked it so that when i am worrying they can tell me otherwise. I guess i'm just working myself up to going to the doctors as i'm ready to get some help and was wondering if anyone knew what they do or the basic layout so i won't go in blind and stress or if anybody has been through the same thing
