Working out and remembering names

[Guest Lanie39]

Hi. My OCD is all about thinking of someone I know or have known and remembering their names. If I can't remember their name I go into panic mode until I've remembered it. I'll go through each letter of the alphabet to try and trigger a name beginner. Drives me mad.....literally. I'm feeling so depressed at the moment and this OCD is not helping. I'm on a high dose of clo pirating but it doesn't even touch it.

Hi Lanie39,

Yes it's the last thing you need when you're down. I've not heard of this name recall thing before. Sounds annoying and time consuming much like my OCD. Some days it just seems to use every single thing I do, read, see, think as ammunition and it just gets real tedious real quick. It's no way to live.

I'm having a bit of a bad time with my OCD on and off at the moment so I totally sympathise. I hope maybe people can suggest something useful on here.

David.
