OCD Sufferer.

[Guest Emarbe]

Hello I'm Mike or Emarbe short for my initals which is MRB

I believe that I have OCD but I've had strong feelings of making things straight and touching things twice etc when I went into Waitrose the other day, and I remembering that I don't wanna sit on a seat a another person sits on before me just in-case of some dirty germs are on there. I chew on plastic I have no idea why. I think I've been like this for at least 8 years. - I've not been diagnosed but I also have to habit of collecting and hording of books "Biblomania."

I rang up the MHC in my area and asked if they can do an assessment, but I have to go my local GP where my Mum works to get referred. But I don't want my parents to worry.

I just don't know what to do.

Hey Emarbe,

I guess you could change GP, but presumably with your mum working there, she'll pick up on this and that will raise questions anyway.

This is probably not possible but I wondered if you could call the GP's receptionist, ask for a phone number for the CPN, speak to the CPN directly, explain your plight, and see if they know of a way around this - perhaps meeting you at a different doctor's surgey in your area or something?

My mum is the receptionist (: but I've talked to her now, she understands and will be booking me an appointment to see the doc
