not fitting in..

[Guest PaulE]

Even though i love the concept of tthe OCD UK website and all the good things it offers. I have this overwelming feeling that i dont fit in. I read other peoples problem on a daliy basis and think that my OCD is so small to the peoples i read that i dont feel worthy to be on here..its not a sympathy vote im after. Just writing from the mind..maybe this is just my depressive side coming out. I do tend to over examing things in a negitive way,anyway..This is just writing coming straight from the mind. Just how it normally sits up there..

If your problems are small, now is the time to get on it and address them. Before they get worse.

I think this board is for anyone who deals with OCD. Yes, perhaps the majority of posts are from those that appear to be worse than you but that's because they likely need the most support.

Regardless...welcome!

Thanks to you both for your remarks. Its hard sorting my OCD and negitive thoughts about situations..just hearing a few words from other people in the same sort of place really helps..thankyou

Negative thoughts are just brutal. I know for myself they can be very powerful and have a profound impact on my mood. Yet it takes me a while to clue in to what I'm doing to myself before snapping out of it.

I had severe ocd, doing better now. I don't suffer today like others on here but I learn a lot every day. I also don't feel so alone.

Hi Polarbear, it is good to vent some anxieties and have people on here to listen , advice and understand..
