OCD Action

Hi Midgetgem, thank you for your friendship request. I also can’t remember a time when i have not suffered from OCD. I have no idea what triggered mine off, I didn’t even know what it was up until a few years ago and its only this year that I have had the courage to seek help, which along with finding this website, is the best thing I’ve ever done. For the first time in my whole life I don’t feel alone with hideous illness. I hope you soon feel better. Take care, Chloe X

I can’t remember a time when I have not suffered from OCD, however it really took hold when I was 9, my Dads death was the trigger and by the time I was 13 I though I was a total nutter, I was so bad that I smashed a window picked up a piece of glass and threatened to cut my wrists if my mum didn’t get me help. It was the start of learning to live with OCD. I am now 37 and OCD it always there like a little monster sat on my shoulder ready to jump in and take over my life for as long as it takes to beat it back into its cage. Having a bad time at the moment
