Hello from Paris

[Guest badiha]

Hello everyone,

I am from France, being diagnosed with mild OCD at the end of 2012. I have been seeing a psychiatrist for the past 2 weeks. I am going back next week

Basically, I have ocds since 8 years old. I am having a peeing OCD that makes me go void every hour, sometimes less, sometimes more. At night, it's getting worse. Need to go every 15 minutes before sleeping and then I wake up 2/3 times per night. It's very hard to solve. Nobody before this year told me it was an OCD. Doctors said I needed to go for a therapy but they didn't know what that was. I have finally found someone that really understands what I have. We are doing different exercices including the fact that I need to go void every 3 hours. It's EXTREMELY difficult as you can imagine. I may need to go with medications to help. Something I didn't want to do before knowing that my peing problem was an ocd! Now I would be happy to take medication if that can help me.

Otherwise, I also have a mild checking OCD that I am trying to fight. This one is way easier to deal with as it only happens before going to bed for less than an hour per day.

Anyway, I have been dealing with anxiety problems for a long time now. I am happy to join you guys to talk about it

If some people here have a peeing OCD, I would be really happy to talk to them to know how they are dealing with it. (Medication, CBT etc.)

Cheers from Paris!

Salut Badiha et bienvenu au forum.

Votre anglais est vachement plus fort que mon francais alors peut etre c'est mieux que je parle en anglais...

I have OCD too. Mine is all triggers and compulsions in my mind. Some call that Pure O but they encourage people not to use these subsets of OCD on here as it is all just OCD really.

If you like, you could also ask about the peeing OCD on the main forum as there tend to be more people reading those posts:

Bonne chance avec votre lutte contre OCD.

A bientot,

David.

Nice French by the way! We call OCD a TOC in French.

Merci bien. Ca fait longtemps depuis que je parle Francais. J'ai oublie trop.

Ah bon alors maintenant je vais rechercher quoi va dire TOC!

I had better not speak too much French of I will get told off(and I cant remember any more!).

I hope you can learn some more about TOC on these forums anyway.

All the best,

David.
