Ashley Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Unfortunately next Wednesday's Liverpool OCD Support Group as been cancelled. This discussion as been opened for members of the Liverpool OCD Support Group to offer them a place to reach out for support in the absence of the group, and will be actively monitored by Catherine and/or Dave during the times that the support group usually operates (5-7pm). Group members are welcome to create an account and join in the conversation, and regular forum members are also welcome to offer our group helpful advice and support. Should any of the Liverpool group prefer to talk one-on-one then OCD-UK will offer a telephone call back on the Thursday (2nd).

Anaocd Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi Catherine hopefully be able to join you tomorrow, hope you are keeping well. Link to comment
catherine Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’ve had a message from Sue. Unfortunately she is unable to partake in on line forums but she sends her love to you all. She had some good news in that Florence’s neices have taken her down to live with her sister in London. Link to comment
Dave Williams Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi Catherine and anyone else logged on. It's good that Florence has some company although London doesn't seem to be a good place at the moment Link to comment
Dave Williams Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Wondering if I'm in the correct discussion? Hellooooooo anyone there. Link to comment
Ashley Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello again Dave. Hopefully people from your group will log on and say hello/share their OCD challenges during the next couple of hours. I am not sure the format always works for people used to talking face-to-face. Time will tell Link to comment
catherine Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 That’s true Dave, the positive I guess is that the sister has a housekeeper and Carer, but no I wouldn’t like to be in London either. Link to comment
shaun flanagan Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello old friends! It’s been a while.... Link to comment
Dave Williams Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thanks Ashley. Can see a few people now logged in so hopefully they will find their way here. Link to comment

catherine Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Shaun, I think you might have hit the quote button, try the submit reply button, bottom right hand corner... Link to comment
shaun flanagan Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’m doing okay thanks Dave, still on the same level but no spikes or sharp increases. Link to comment
Ashley Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi Guys, Just to say if you register you don't need to use your full names, the beauty of the forum is we can use aliases. For those that have already I can change your usernames to Firstname Firstletter of surname (or another alias). Is anybody struggling with their OCD tonight? Anything we can help each other with? Link to comment
catherine Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Anyone else out there, we have Shaun & Dave so far? Link to comment
Dave Williams Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Shaun: Do you have your name down for any further therapy? It's good that there haven't been any spikes - what about any relief? Link to comment
Hippo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi, not sure this format is going to work for me but wanted to show my support for it :) Link to comment
shaun flanagan Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 During this current crisis, are places like Talk Liverpool not seeing anybody? If so that must be hard if you’ve started a CBT course. Link to comment
catherine Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I know Hippo, it takes a bit of getting used to! Link to comment
Dave Williams Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thanks Hippo - support is always welcomed. Understand if it's not for you. We're really hoping that this will pass over soon and we can get back to our normal meetings. Are you okay? Link to comment
catherine Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Shaun I think phone consultations are taking place instead of face to face. Link to comment
Dave Williams Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 We are doing telephone support at PSS. It's helpful but not the same. Are you on their list Shaun? Link to comment
shaun flanagan Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Dave, no I have been thinking about getting back on Talk Liverpool’s waiting list, but i’m not sure that it’ll be up to the task at this point. Link to comment
