OCD
Hi everyone,
I’m new to the forums and trying to figure out how everything works. Does anyone else here struggle from severe OCD? I’m looking to chat with other people who’ve had similar struggles and experiences.
Thanks 🌻

Re: OCD
Welcome, @GhostGirl123 ! It's good to have you here 🙂
I also have OCD - mine takes the form of germophobia, with some checking and counting too.
What form does your OCD take?
An important forum tip is if you type @ and then click on a name in the drop-down box, that person will get a notification and won't miss your reply.
I look forward to hearing back from you...

Re: OCD
@NatureLover @Thank you for your response, I’m still trying to figure out how to post here!
My OCD is a lot of numbers, intrusive thoughts and mental rituals, so it’s quite exhausting.
Do you know of any groups where people with anxiety or OCD can catch up? I’m in Adelaide [Edited by moderator].

Re: OCD
@GhostGirl123 OCD is totally exhausting, isn't it! 😢
We aren't allowed to mention any specific local groups, due to the Anonymity rule which is to keep us all safe. But we can talk about it here.
You can also type "OCD" or "Anxiety" into the Search bar above for lots of threads on them!
Do you have any professional support for your OCD?
