Thank you OCDhavenobrain. I will seek one out once when I am ready.

I just accept I have OCD and try and diminish it as much as possible. Maybe I can speak to my community psychiatric nurse about it as I have done as she seems understanding.

Judging by today’s meeting not very much!

I hear you OCDhavenobrain. My psych is one of the top ones in the country. His specialism is schizophrenia I think.

You would have thought so. I have checking OCD too with door handles and gas cooker nobs. If I don’t have OCD who does!

Thanks Gemma. Much obliged.

I was sure my CPN always thought it was OCD but maybe not. I’m the textbook case of someone with OCD i would say.

Hi Gemma i’ve had some hiccups since 2000. I don’t want to get a second opinion at this stage. We are going to try and lower one of my medications to see if it will make me sleep less so I will wait and see how that goes.

Hi GBG thanks for the reply. I had psychosis in 2000 which they now call schizophrenia. I am ok as long as I take my medication. When I started to have OCD symptoms I went to the psychiatrist (the one before my current one) and he put me on a SSRI which I stayed on for about 5 years. Yes I am in the UK.

He said it’s just delusions from schizophrenia. What the heck.

Look after yourself you are welcome back anytime. Thanks for all your help. x

To do nothing about it.

Thanks Bobfish. I will put up with what my parents do. I am taking natural mosquito repellent and natural sunscreen.
