Guest legend Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Why the hash tag you may ask ? #ocdproblems Well if you use twitter regularly , this hashtag has and was used innapropiatly and led onto many tweets of ill informed ocd terms So a few us decided to tweet what real ocd problems are, and used the hashtag to get real ocd issues out there I never in my wildest dreams never expected such a huge response, and people tweeted in there 1000s of what real ocd problems are Today a video was made about it all , and posted on you tube , here >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abyYYzX6GRM&feature=youtu.be Well done everyone involved !! we certainly did reclaim that hashtag Legend Link to comment
Guest HeadAboveWater Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Wow, Legend. Thank you so much for sharing that! I am brought to tears.... because this disorder has taken not only away so much life from me but from others, as well.... and it is really so unfair that people don't understand the reality of OCD. You and the others should be proud of yourselves for reclaiming that hashtag and using it to inform others. Link to comment

Guest Mrsobsessive Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 That's fab, maybe in time the general public will gain more understanding and stop trivialising this horrendous illness. Good work x Link to comment
Guest legend Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) isnt it !! and we have a great ocd community on twitter Also shows that you can respond in an informed knowledgeable way, rather than a anger way Edited December 1, 2014 by legend Link to comment
Guest PJM Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I joined in. It was good to see the hashtag being reclaimed. We should retain it. Link to comment
Guest legend Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yes going to keep eye on it Well done for joining in Somebody said they over heard people talking about it on the bus this morning, after seeing it on Twitter They said they didn't realise how severe ocd really was ! Link to comment
PolarBear Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 See now that's a perfect example of how to not only reclaim a hashtag but reclaim a disorder. Job well done. Link to comment
