Its something my psychologist and I disagree over good naturedly as he believes its more of a learned response either to trauma or from a family member. </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/a-question-and-a-suggestion#post-43434 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 23:24:31 +0000 Anonymous 43434@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Thanks. <strike>Legal...

There are a lot of talented people with OCD and this is an opportunity to show or share your creatativity, anything goes so long as it is decent and legal and is not advertising.</p> <p>Your suggestion is excellent, many thanks for it, I will see if one of our medical advisers can put something together.</p> <p>Best wishes,<br /> Caps </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/a-question-and-a-suggestion#post-43399 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:44:55 +0000 Anonymous 43399@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>First, the question:</p> <p>Do submissions to the creative corner need to be OCD-related or can they be about anything? (I find OCD upsetting to think about)</p> <p>Second, the suggestion:</p> <p>I'm not sure how to phrase this but here it goes. *deep breath*<br /> Something I think would be really helpful is some kind of infomation of impacts other disorders and mental health problems can have on OCD. For example, Autism, which is very much like OCD and it's hard to distingush the two from each other. Espeecially if you happen to have both as it all impacts on each other.</p> <p>Anyways, that's my spamming done. Please to be telling me what yous all think. </p>
