Guest Shannon Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think a silver coin charm would be a really nice item to be able to buy. I think something wearable is great- to remind you of your inner strength and think positive thoughts, it also reminds you of the nature of OCD and what it is capable of. I like the idea of the little rubber bracelet currently available and I highly regard anyone who wears it publicly, but for anyone who is discreet with their illness (it is called the secret illness)then a charm might be a nice thing to wear under your clothes, as a necklace. I would make it tactile, so that you can hold it when troubled and have a side to reflect the beast of OCD- a demonic type figure and then a positive/strength inducing side indicating the strength we all hold inside. Just an idea... Link to comment
FoosBoo88 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 It's a nice idea, I already wear a symbolic necklace and it does definitely speak volumes to the wearer. I think symbolic jewellery is a lovely idea, whatever it's about. It helps us identify as a person. FoosBoo88 x Link to comment
Guest OCDAY Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That sounds like a good idea Shannon, like the idea people could hide it if they want. Does anyone know if OCD-UK does branded tokens for shopping trolleys (the pound coin size ones)??? Link to comment
FoosBoo88 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I don't think they do OCDAY, why don't you put the idea forward? FoosBoo88 x Link to comment
taurean Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I like the idea. I wear male jewellery - makes me feel good plus part of Essex culture! I have a little bull (for taurean) I sometimes wear on a chain round my neck - why not another charm? P.s. I am sitting in my car awaiting my ear specialist appointment, and I am wearing my OCD-UK lapel badge! Link to comment
Guest OCDAY Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hi Foos, Being thick - How do I put the idea forward?? Link to comment
alisando123 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think that sounds like a really awesome idea! I know i would definitely wear one Link to comment
taurean Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Ashley will probably pick up on this topic at some point, but why not draw his attention to it by PMing him? Link to comment
Guest OCDAY Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hi Taureen, I PM'd him. At the end end of the day I figured out myself he was the person to suggest it too!! What are others thoughts, would you buy one. I also would go for the charm idea. Link to comment
Ashley Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hello All, Someone just sent me a message to take a look at the thread. I am not totally sure if this what you mean, but we do have these shopping trolley/gym locker tokens, although I am not sure how much of a charm they are! http://www.ocdshop.com/product_info.php?cPath=16&products_id=184 Link to comment
Guest OCDAY Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Ashley PMd me straight back to say he had added to post (He is a star) Just ordered a trolley/gym token, also added a wrist band as the were on offer!! Glad I asked......... Link to comment
Guest Shannon Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Trolley key ring sounds fab. Any thoughts on charm for a necklace? x Link to comment
Guest jayjay89 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hey guys, I have a Celtic symbol for freedom and truth tattooed on my foot - that's my charm. Might be a bit extreme for some though lol Link to comment
Guest Shannon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 That's a lovely reminder, with great meaning x Link to comment
