New OCD Book Club - June - Pulling the Trigger
Ashley posted a topic in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD),
Book Club – Month: June
Chosen by the OCD-UK Discussion Forums
About Book Club
The purpose of the book club is not to review the book, but to encourage those affected by OCD to engage in the self-help resources available to them;
and to promote discussion to allow the community, and possibly even some of the authors, to help readers understand aspects of the book they struggle to work through.
Helping to create and maintain a recovery focussed mindset.
If you’ve already read a book, no harm and many advantages of re-reading!
Sometimes it’s just fun to read and help others understand a book.
OCD, Anxiety, Panic Attacks and related Depression
Pulling the Trigger
Book Discussion
To be discussed at the monthly OCD Support Groups (end of June / start of July) by participating groups.
To be discussed on the OCD-UK forum on this thread
Via the OCD-UK Twitter feed at the end of June, and with the hashtag #OCDBookClub
Summary from all of the above will be placed on the main OCD-UK website during July.
We politely request the following guidelines when discussing….
Give others time to read the book, so no spoilers until towards the end of the reading period. The OCD-UK forums do have a spoiler code should you wish to discuss in advance.
If you disagree with something that another member of the book club or author has said. It is okay to disagree as long as it's done respectfully.
Keep on topic, but feel free to introduce information that is relevant to the discussion (historical facts, bio details, book background, related authors or topics).

The purpose of the OCD-UK forums
Ashley posted a topic in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD),
The purpose of the OCD-UK forums
I thought it be useful and helpful for both new and existing members to reiterate the purpose of the OCD-UK Forums. Across the internet you will find many OCD websites and discussion forums, many of which do a fabulous job. But sometimes, how other websites are run may confuse people about what to expect when using the OCD-UK forums.
The primary objective of the OCD-UK forum is to encourage and promote recovery from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and promote good therapeutic practices (i.e. highlighting the problem with seeking reassurance for example).

Who wants to change?
Ashley posted a topic in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD),
In my Christmas message I spoke about change, and how if we want to recover, it we want a better life we have to choose to change and do something, anything to start that change.
I think this image posted by one of our trustee's Nick this morning perfectly illustrates a problem that we are still seeing on the forum. That's not a criticism, we are all guilty at times, myself included.
The fact is we can talk about wanting change, wanting to get better, but nothing will change until we choose to implement change. The NHS, charity's like OCD-UK and the good people of this forum can help people change, but individuals have to first choose to make change happen by taking action and doing something, anything.
So who wants to change?- 84 replies

Am suffering from a blocked eustacian tube at the back of my right ear canal, causing temporary loss of half the hearing in the ear.· 0 replies
It's the result of an allergic reaction to dust which had collected upstairs. We cleaned the dust away several days ago, but the allergic reaction hasn't yet died down. So am using antihistamines to gradually reduce it.
Meanwhile had to turn up the volume on my hearing aids to keep up my social and domestic interactions with others
