Never sure what to say for introductions? So i will try to keep it short

Name is Mark and i am 31 from Oxfordshire, i suffer from Superstitious/Magical thinking OCD and have done since i was 15 years old, trigger for me was the death of my Brother when i was 15 or though i have vague memories of having OCD when i was younger

I use to suffer from Germ obsessions too but they don't seem to be as common any more

Currently on Fluvoxamine SSRI and in CBT therapy which i have been on and off for the past 5 years i am suffering a big spike in my rituals and symptoms which has kind of tempted me to finally pluck up the courage to join this site
