I know we all suffer from OCD...

... but I would like to find people on here around my age (I'm 38), who would be interested in proper chats and conversations outside of here (the app is great, but as there is no option to properly chat, but only blog, it's not completely satisfying my need for conversation with other OCD sufferers). I know younger people suffer from OCD, too, but certain things and views are just different, when someone is 20 years younger than me (no offence). Of course, we'd need to find out, if we get along and, if not, it should be fine to stop engaging without any hard feelings.

Anyone interested in a skype group chat? One doesn't need to use their main skype account, it's possible to make a new account, which doesn't contain one's details...

I would be interested in starting a support group as it can get pretty exhausting thinking we are all alone in this. However sometimes chatting with other people about their thoughts/ocd can be a somewhat of a triggering concern. What are you kinds of conversations were you wanting to have? I’d just be careful trying to seek reassurance I’m others dealing with the same thing. It’s a tricky topic

Yeah sometimes hearing about others problems or difficulties can be a big downer

Username: Zoë_84Zoë_84

Not reassurance, no... I try to stay away from asking for it and giving it... It's hard to talk to "normal" people about how tired OCD makes me and how hard facing one's triggers is, they just don't get it. I have issues leaving my apartment and a guy I know said - Yeah, then just leave your apartment?!?... And I play act a lot when talking to normal people, as they don't want to deal with someone, that's stressed out, scared and not cheerful most of the time... I think I'd like normal conversations about anything really and the option to address OCD related topics...

I'm 33 and also would be down to start an online support group. I am part of one locally, and there are a few moderators who have psych degrees there to sort of guide the convo and answer questions

It'd be nice to have another one, they are not very frequent

Username: Zoë_84Zoë_84

Well, I tried this before. I am on a chat and gaming website. I asked the moderators, if we'd be free to talk only amongst us, if we created an unmoderated room only people who got invited to could join and I got told, that moderators have access to every room and every conversation. So that option is out. Is there an app for group chats? Facebook and WhatsApp are not my thing, when it comes to talking about OCD though. A support group would be great, too, but when I made the initial post I thought more about one on one chats...

Username: Zoë_84Zoë_84

It would also be good to know where people who want to talk are from, as time diference makes it hard to stay in touch...

I'd love to be involved! I'm 39 and would love a small support group omwith ppl of similar ages and concerns. I updated the ocd topics I'm having trouble with but I'd also like to mention I've be diagnosed with major depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, adhd and seizures. I sent a message to ? And answer section of the app asking if we could get a private chat room but who knows if I'll ever here back

Interest in an online support group via chat?

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.

Hello Everyone!

Hello! I am new to this app even though I have struggled with OCD almost all my life. I am a college student, almost twenty years old plagued with intrusive thoughts mostly dealing with sexuality and real events. I am happy that I will get to know people who also has OCD and will not make me feel alone. As a starter, how old are ya’ll and how was your experience with this distressful mental illness? I hope all of ya’ll are having a peaceful day 😊
