Hi all. I realised I was doing physical compulsions to my ocd thoughts for a long time and I have cut them down greatly. I'm trying to think positive about the future but all I worry about is what my neighbours think of me. I did repetitive movements like moving my head a certain way or my hands so they were really obvious and weird movements that anyone would notice. We have horrible gossipy neighbours who watch everyone all the time so I'm sure they've seen me doing weird rituals. It's annoying because when I see someone with obvious mental health issues I don't laugh or think they're weird I feel sympathy. Ocd would be so much easier if stupid people didn't judge us!

I'm sorry you were made redundant. I think you will be just fine in your job search. think of all the times where you have seen completely inept people working in a store etc and thought to yourself HOW did they get that job?!! If you be yourself and show the interviewer how willing you are to work hard for them then I think you will have a good chance :)

Coping with full on triggers

Hi ecomum I think going back to work will be good for you. You can focus your attention on work when you see a trigger -
How can i go on living a lie

Does your partner know you have ocd? You could show them resources to better understand what' going on in your head -
It is hard. I'm worrying once again about all the crazy things ice shouted out as part of a ritual that my neighbours must have heard and I worry about what they think about me
-
No that makes sense. I still feel like I was being reckless and irresponsible though. I' always afraid of my temper because it is a short temper

Hi Atlantis. I hope that' what I was thinking. That I was fed up of checking and checking the space around my dog before pulling the leash. But it still feels in anger that I stop caring about everything and act without looking for potential danger first

Hi Heisenberg lol. She had her nose/head right in the corner of the gate were it meets the wall and the nail was about 2 inches away from her (sticking out the wall post parallel to the gate). So it was close to her face. I can't tell of I have a bad anger problem or ocd. I did feel horribly guilty after I pulled her away - a what have I done moment - so it makes me think it was ocd. But no one ever talks about ocd during an action or movement. People only talk about random harm ocd thoughts when they aren' doing anything or even moving
-
Yes. I don' confide in them anymore though because it was seeking reassurance over and over. But I can't explain these horrible occurances. They know I'm always scared I'm going to hurt my pets in some way. This incident felt so real though,

In a very very bad way. Would love to chat please.

Hi ecomum. I read somewhere that mental health is worse in spring than any other time of year for some reason! I find that my ocd and anxiety gets worse this time of year too -
Hi I have a bad fear of norovorus too but If I was in that situation I would think, well the plumber has only touched what has come out of my own body so I must not have a virus lol

I'm worried about confiding in family in case they think I am a danger to our pets

Hi ecomum, thanks for replying. I'm scared I haven' got ocd but a real problem with my temper. I see loads of posts from sufferers who are scared they are *going* to lose control or have intrusive thoughts about harming others but its' rare when I see posts about actual action

Please can some help me- I feel defeated

The therapist will understand all this and know he isn' being misled. I had the same worries when I was in therapy but they are trained to know every symptom -
I'm tired of feeling like a monster

I can't imagine what you're going through with those horrible past events but please get help. Are there support groups in your area for victims of abuse?
