Hey guys this might be a little bit of a long post BUT. I thought maybe we should all try to do something to benefit everyone on here. We should create a list of OCD resources for each other to learn more about how we can manage our OCD. The Idea is to make this one long continuous thread of resources so people who come on here can find infonration they need to take the first step towards successfull management of OCD. I'll be posting first on a separate reply but the Idea is to divide it into such categories as: Websites Books Youtube Channels Apps Podcasts And Ect.. So if you guys would like to join me in this, I strongly encourage you guys to post your rescources here!:)

So thankful for this :)
