Please see Gemma’s interview:

www.thisisexeter.co.uk/Gemma-manages-secret-illness/story-13426973-detail/story.html

Please see Gemma’s “Exeter OCD Support Group” Facebook page (available to the public, i.e. you do not need to be a member to view it):

www.facebook.com/pages/Exeter-OCD-Support-Group/104152486361290?sk=wall

Type

User-led. For people affected by OCD (including OC Spectrum Disorders) – i.e. partners/parents/carers welcome.

This is a very informal support group – Gemma facilitates is rather than leads it.

Notes

Don’t suffer from OCD alone!

The hotel’s lounge bar is very quiet during the mornings – and the toilets are immaculate!

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS:

Please see the weblink for Gemma’s interview (above) where she talks about having had undiagnosed OCD at university. OCD is often triggered by stressful events, e.g. moving away from home, communal living at university. Self-medicating with alcohol can also be viewed as a type of compulsive behaviour.
