  1. Just heard on the radio what sounded like an NHS advert offering help for obsessive compulsive thoughts urging people to seek help from a GP for help.

      That will be good if that was the case. The only advert I have ever heard was for a commercial MAC drug company recruiting patients for an OCD drug trial (that seems to be failing).

      I heard it again. It was telling people if they need talking therapy to speak to their GP. Don’t think it said OCD specifically but MIGHT have said intrusive thoughts and MIGHT have said anxiety. I was dozing off to sleep and the volume wasn’t very loud.

  2. I just read that the Chilean president has OCD…

  3. Anyone else concerned about AI?

  4. Don’t feed the OCD troll.

  5. Anyone else like aniseed balls?

  6. Doc Martin new and final series on this Wednesday!

  7. Count your blessings not your troubles.

  8. Just had a nice cup of coffee and scrambled eggs on toast. Good combination!

      Yes she was brilliant, I watched it on Channel 4. it was a pulsating game both players were excellent. What a battler Fernandez is. 

      Well done Emma - nerves of steel and some incredible Tennis. 

  10. Just went to the MedConfidential website to find out how to opt out of NHS sharing data to keep my medical records confidential.

      Does it make a suggestion how to do it?

    2. daja

      Yes, I opted out both “GP data” and “other data”. The first one you print off a form and fill it out then drop off at your GP surgery. The latter it directs you to a page on the NHS website where you opt out.

      I think you have until June 23rd to do either both or one or the other. They were talking about the subject on the radio and had someone from MedConfidential on the phone. The subject was also talked about on Watchdog on The One Show the other day.

  11. Pancake day soon!

  12. I’m wanting reassurance...

  13. Happy new year all ?

  14. When you accidentally click on someone’s username by mistake instead of the thread title and it looks like you’ve been stalking them.

      .... then you need to know you are being influenced by OCD. 

      What you describe is commonplace, we have all accidentally done that.

      Yeah I hear you Roy it has just been a passing thought here and there nothing serious. The comment was pretty much just tongue-in-cheek. I hope you are well.

  15. Sprained my ankle ?

      I did this a few years ago playing 5-a-side football. it was surprisingly painful. I had to sit with my ankle raised for 48hrs and take pain killers.

      you have my sympathy daja, how are you treating it?

      Thanks both of you. So far I am just using Voltarol gel Avo. Walking down the stairs (sideways) at home last night I slipped so I just have to be careful.

  16. Fell over backwards in the bath when having a shower. Escaped relatively unscathed. I am very lucky.

      Thanks GBG. I am getting twinges on my lower back and my left buttock. It’s been hard getting out of bed.

  18. So hard to shop for food AND socially distance.

      My dad made this point last night. It is, but I guess we just have to minimise risk as much as we can and try and avoid people as much as we can in there. 

  19. I hope someone gets my message in a bottle...

  20. Got some sort of cold. Feel rough. Just had a hot lemon and paracetamol.
