I've just learnt how to live it like this and never considered a better life style, didn't seem possible. Just so many obsesions in my head I can't stand it. So I should ask for that help, I'm willing to try anything by this point. </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/getting-over-it#post-35486 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:10:09 +0000 truddles 35486@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Hi Takuma,<br /> I'm pleased to hear that you're wanting to beat it.<br /> Have you ever thought about taking the next step and confiding in your GP or one of the other doctors in the practise and getting them to help. Having accepted that you've got a problem it seems the next logical step. Do you think that you are ready to accept help? I was too proud to ask for help and now I'm in one hell of a mess. I wish that I'd swallowed my pride and asked sooner. You are as entitled as the next person to be happy.<br /> Hope that you don't think that I'm being too forward.<br /> Let me know how you get on.<br /> All the best<br /> Truddles </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/getting-over-it#post-35469 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:30:59 +0000 crazycurry 35469@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Hey<br /> Thanks Truddles, It's good to know people like you are out there.<br /> Yeah life as a student for me is easy enough, I have very supportive friends and family that still don't realise I have these issues, I chose not to tell most of them.<br /> I just let my mind get the best of me sometimes, over reacting to the smallest things and thinking something bad will happen once I end up being happy.<br /> It's a miserable life style but I plan on beating it for good. I managed to stop alot of my issues through wil power to change when I was younger, but I know their still there, just more of a mental form now rather than actions I would do by hand.<br /> Thanks for the post does mean alot to me. </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/getting-over-it#post-35467 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:13:08 +0000 truddles 35467@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Hi Takuma,<br /> Welcome, you're not alone we're all the same boat.<br /> I only joined last week and already I've found a lot of support from people that are going through the same sort of things. It makes it a lot easier to share with people that aren't going to judge you or belittle you.<br /> It saddens me to think that some one with their whole life ahead of them is feeling so sad.<br /> When you're feeling low just log on, don't feel that you have to suffer in silence.<br /> Hope you're enjoying life as a student.<br /> Best wishes<br /> Truddles </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/getting-over-it#post-35451 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:35:11 +0000 crazycurry 35451@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Thanks, yeah it's great that there is a site and I think it's good that people can get chatting about it. I've read a few other posts and yeah I can relate with quite a few of them. Just the thinking.. gets on my nerve. Constant worrying over things I know I can get through easily, blaming unfortunate events on myself for not doing things a certain way. I find myself becoming very tired and stressed over it all the time. Just wish there was a button to turn it all off. </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/getting-over-it#post-35446 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:36:46 +0000 Nimrod 35446@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Hi Takuma,</p> <p>Welcome to the forum.

I'm an 18 year old college student that has had these troubles my entire life. When I was younger I had no understanding of OCD and just assumed that I was the only one. It stopped me from doing the things I enjoy, took up so much time and I became quite depressed when I thought of the next day being the same as today.<br /> I remember thinking horrible things would happen each and every time I tried my very best to rebel against my habbits. I knew I was driving my parents insane having to do things each night before I could sleep and even to this day I find myself doing the smallest things again and again. It has held me back my whole life and I haven't once told my parents about it or even a doctor, just friends I can trust that won't think I'm crazy...<br /> I managed to get through so much over the years by finding other things to do instead. I know it's still there and I know it holds me back with this annoying sense of fear. I just want to get through it so I can live a more normal life. Makes me feel so miserable sometimes I don't really know how I'm supposed to keep going. </p>
