  1. I am posting with a request to any sufferers with “Scrupulosity” or other manifestations of religious OCD, to consider taking part in a documentary I want to making about this aspect of OCD. It would involve talking on camera and perhaps going for treatment . At the moment I just want to talk to anyone (in complete confidence, naturally) who feels they would be interested.

    I will talk to anyone suffering any type of religious OCD especially if you have to carry out actions and rituals associated with it. It doesn’t matter if you are religious of not.

    I used to suffer from magical thinking for some years and “Pure O” in fact at one point I was in a mental hospital, because of it – or rather my attempts to control it through drugs and such like. I am pleased to say that I have been free of most of this for a long time although it will sometimes pop up and then I have to rationalise it away . I was on medication but then used CBT and hypnosis (which I find powerful in breaking subconscious metaphor and thought patterns) I don’t think my condition was especially bad although I did try to kill myself once or twice.

    This this is my way of trying to get a wider public understanding of this affliction and to show the world that it’s a difficult but manageable condition.

    If you want to know more please send me a private message on this site, or contact me by e mail on development@fulcrumtv.com

    I thank you all in advance
