Hi i often feel this way i have ocd and ms and depression but i have 2 girls to look after. I used to be asking questions on here a lot as a few probably know but i don`t really now as you do really have to do it yourself unfortunately there is not really any help for ocd i know other than helping yourself and you have to try and keep busy and tell yourself that it is not real just thoughts and it cannot hurt you in any way. I have wished lots over the years that was more help for ocd and other mental health issues but there is nothing it really in the end comes down to doing it yourself and having the stregnth to get better. I have bad days still but know if i don`t fight it noone else will do it for me, My family have never understood, Not sure how they can i don`t really know why i think this way either. I hope you can fight this but i know it bloody hard to do i don`t think anyone without ocd will ever know how hard it is but try and believe in yourself and try as hard as you can to get better co really noone wil do it for you in the end you have to fight this horrible illness yourself, All the best Joanne

Thank you I will try hope you are ok

I have not posted for a while as have been doing ok but am worried that there is poo on the toilet and if it will harm us

Very interesting and useful discussion I have found my anxiety does not fade if I do something that worries me for a long time or til something else happens then I forget the other worry and get anxiety about the new one. My husband said it is better to be anxious while getting over and trying to beat the worries than being anxious and bad with ocd and not trying but he does not understand how ill it makes you feel, Even though I think he is right lol.

Thank you both x

My doctor is referring me to springfield hospital in London and I just wondered if anyone knew if it was a facility you stay at or just go in for appointments thanks

Daisy you deserve so much better than that. It may be complicated but what he has done is unforgivable and maybe if you move forward you will do better as it sounds like he is not much help to you either. Be strong you can do it let go and fight it I am willing you on we all are on here xx

What is it that is worrying you to clean your room :original:

Thank you xxx

Thank you Alex Lauren and cub. I appreciate the replies but I am so worried the splashes when I went to the loo has dirtied me. I have not done anything about it and I have kept going whereas before I would of had a bath but I have not. The worry and anxiety is bad but I hope it will be worth it not giving in and that I won`t make anyone bad because I am dirty thanks again xxx

Hi everyone hope your all doing well. I have been doing so well lately so I am upset with myself as I am worrying about being contaminated as I have had water splash on me when going to the loo on both cheeks and I know I should not of but I googled it and it said it is dirty and has germs on when it splashes after having a poo so I am worried now and I had been doing so well lately so I am dissapointed with myself thanks

Yes thanks he is back :original:

Thank you xxx

Thank you

Hi everyone my huband is away now I am left with my ocd, Ms and 2 kids I am doing ok but I have not been asking for reassurance for a while but today a fly was in our bathroom and touched dirty things then went in our living room an I think it may have touched my drink and I feel bad. Apart from that I am doing better than I thought I would be on my own thanks

Thank you I know what you mean ocd trys to worry me in different ways when I get over one worry it makes me worry about it another way but I have to realise it is all the the ocd trying to make me worry it is very clever

Thank you I will try my best to do everything right it will be tough but I think I can do it or hope lol. Thanks again

Ever since my mom went on holiday I have not asked for reassurance as she was the main one I asked it has been over a month and I have done nothing to lessen my anxiety and even though I feel anxious and worried I also feel in control more. My husband goes away tomorrow with work for the first and last time I hope and I will have the kids on my own and I am worried how I will cope but also I think it will do me good to be made to do things that worry me. It will either make or break me lol this next week and we all have to believe in ourselves cos to put up with horrid illness we must be strong x

Hi no he told me to stay on them as I was so ill with my first and sometimes the stress is worse :original:

Ok thanks :original:

Anyone please x
