OCD Action

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd say hello and hope that everyone is ok. I haven't been on the forum for a while as I was still struggling a few weeks ago, now I'm doing ok mainly.

I'm moving house next weekend so that's another reason I haven't been on the forum apart from checking messages. Moving and clearing out is a real challenge for me (OCD wise) as everything is a mess and seems really dirty everywhere at the moment. My OCD has always been cleaning and order and intrusive thoughts.

The thoughts are not bothering me at the moment, which is great, but I can't pack anything until it is cleaned first!

Everything seems pretty much in control at the moment, though at the beginning of the week it was a different story.

Anyway I am really looking forward to moving and once I settle down I will be more involved again in the forum.

I am so grateful for everyones support over the last few months and look forward to being able to support others on the forum as soon as I have moved, especially as I am coping quite well at the moment and feel more able to help others.

Take care for now everyone

Bridget

So goodluck for the move && congrats on feeling in more control

Hi Bridget and Andel
Just wanted to wish you both all the very best with the moves next week. It can be a heck of a trying time even without the ocd, so good luck and i hope it all goes well for both of you. Bridget, will you have to wash everything once it comes out of the packaging too? When i moved, i had to wrap everything in clean sheets and swing bin liners, it's a right nightmare isn't it. Feeling more in control is a good feeling. Let's drink to that lol Pops

Andel - sorry to hear you're annoying yourself over the move. It's so stressful isn't it. Can you try and convince yourslf nothing different is happening or is that the daftest suggestion of the year lol Wish i could help. Pops

Hi Pop's
It's just mainly changing addresses, moving benefits, getting the flat cleared up, and grrrrrrrrrrrrr so much all at once. Everyone here is dumping more stuff on me to sort out in like 4 days && it's starting to get on top of me && winding my OCD up ://

Oh well once it's done then it'll be done :). Moving with OCD, not an easy task.

Bridget when do you move? lots of best wishes, hope the weather stays nice for you and dry. Do you still feel in control?
Andel everything will be fine and the good thing is, it will all be over soon and you will be through the stress of it all and just coping with the ocd again and maybe pulling back from it's grip :?........ Pops

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your best wishes for the move. It is all going well so far. I have painted three rooms in my new flat so far (with help) and have two rooms left. It is exhausting but will be worth it in the end.

Good luck to you too Andel and hope it all goes well for you. I am really looking forward to a new start!

Hope everyone is ok and look forward to being back on the forum more soon.

Aishah :lol:

Oh Pops, I move this weekend by the way, so just think of me when you are enjoying the long weekend lol.

Bridget and Andel - how did the moves go? Are you both ok from the experience and was it as bad as you thought it was going to be or better? I was determind when i moved to leave the ocd behind at the last address! i didn't quite manage that but have left some of it there and managing to live without it, so hopefully the rest can be worked on in time!! there's always tomorrow, today i feel too anxious lol Pops
