I second that request.

I've suffered with OCD since childhood, went on Prozac, then Paxil. Paxil & prayer keep it in check. Had scary thoughts from "Sin Unto Death" to saying undesired thoughts.

Oh, one other thing, after years of dealing with OCD and with therapy, you should know that your fear is something that your ego really doesn't want you to do. In other words, you really don't want to do or say it. It is not in your heart and your heart is where you are and what you are. So don't worry! The OCD scary thing is something you don't want to do or say, it terrifies you, the mental struggle then toggles between am I such that or will I say because I feel. NO! You know who you are and what you feel, your mind knows too, there is just this OCD 3rd party which challenges your rational...

 

[Roomann]

Yeah. Mods, get this up and running!

OCD is an anxiety disorder, I think that the anxiety disorder sub-forum is where people with OCD discuss their anxieties, obsessions and compulsions.

If there's enough intrest Erwin might create an OCD forum. You can request one in the "Request a forum" forum.

I'm a counsellor who helps people suffering these type off illnessess. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, is worth having its own thread EPHSTRUTH as wether its to the minor degree of just simple obsessive behaviour, it also ranges right up to effecting a persons life all the time. For example one client of mine cannot enter his Kitchen, because he knows he has to stand and wait for his tap to drip 17 times, he switches cooker switchers and wall switches of many times, same with his front door key and fire, if they lose count off how many times theyve done it they repeat it again and again, many sufferers can get up to go out and it takes hours for them to leave there property, till they feel comfortable. Its a very tiring stressful illness under personality disorders, its worth putting it up.

I think this is a great idea. Anyone up for requesting?

 

[Roomann]

Please, anyone looking at this, please reply and get it noticed...

 

[trinitygrace]

Yeah I'm definitely all for an OCD forum because I have been suffering with it for like 10 years, since I was a kid.
Hopefully we'll get one up soon!

 

[Roomann]

Thank you
Anybody who has "contacts" should ask if they can all help as well, this would be really good...

I'm for having a separate OCD section. While I don't have OCD myself, I live with my elderly father who sufers extremely from it and it is something that doesn't just affect him, but me and my family as well. I would like to discuss with others their experiences and dealings with OCD.

Has someone contacted a moderator about this yet?

 

[Roomann]

Not yet....

You know they have a section called Anxiety & Panic Disorders. Would not this be the place for OCD discussions?
