Dear all, as real chat here is not possible and a fluent conversation would make me feel more connected and part of a group, I'd like to ask, if anyone is interested in an online support group via chat? If yes, I'd try to find a platform for it. I know on here are minors who suffer from OCD, but as I suffer from POCD and want to be able to freely discuss it (and of course, as discussing that topic with minors triggers my POCD, as I found out on here), I would like to start an online support group only for people who are 18 years of age, or older. Anyone who is interested, please let me know.
Do they help? Do you all benefit from them? How do they work? I’m starting NOCD therapy and am thinking of trying out some support groups.
Hi All, How do people in this community deal with having no one to talk to when needing to cope with depression or anxiety? I’ve tried talking to my family and friends, but they’re all sick and tired of me and my OCD. Every time I try to bring up my concerns, they just shut me down with “Stop the OCD!”, “Go away!”, or just ignore me completely. I know this support group exists for this, but realistically, I can’t come here every time I have something I want to talk about. I’m not sure what else to try, I’ve lost all my friends and now losing family members. I’ve even tried warning them “what I’m about to say is triggering” but that just makes it worse.
