kaheath80 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hi all, I had this published recently. It’s about obsessing over OCD itself. Hope this might be helpful for a few people. http://www.youandmemagazine.com/articles/the-irony-obsessing-over-obsessive-compulsive-disorder Hope I’m allowed to post it! Link to comment

Guest OCDhavenobrain Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) I think it was great and it said many good things. 5/5. I Especially liked this part: "I even had trouble going to my OCD support group as I felt like I didn't belong there. When they discussed symptoms I didn't have, I'd panic. These people obviously had OCD and were suffering, but I was just pretending! I was a fraud and I was wasting people’s time." I have been to two groups and I saw this both times, I am pretty confident in saying that I have OCD, but I think this might be a general problem. It seems to me that many people feel shame because they have OCD, even if they have more "common obsessions". Edited December 4, 2018 by OCDhavenobrain Link to comment
kaheath80 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Thanks both! If anyone is into writing I would suggest giving this magazine a try. They pay! And my article was published (and the money transferred to me) less than a week after I submitted it! Although I guess they might not want too many articles about OCD... but definitely worth a try.

taurean Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Some people like drawing or painting - I prefer to paint with words And it's so creative, absorbing and beneficial. Link to comment

Skullpops Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Kaheath, I absolutely had to post to tell you, what an amazing article. So well written and absolutely spot on. Well done to you. Link to comment
taurean Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Wow Kaheath. Am having a nice siesta this afternoon so just read the article in full. This should help an awful lot of others - it's the right approach for a tough tough side of OCD. As Craig from Strictly would say : "Fab-u-lous Darling" Link to comment
