Hi OCD members, My Name is Dylan Moss. I am constantly struggling with severe ocd. I am unable to leave the house because of all the ritualizing, perfectionism, and checking compulsions. Do you guys know of any support groups to go to or a community where others with ocd meet to share their experiences and or what type of ocd they are struggling with and ideas on how to improve and get better for the treatment process and living a more normal life. From, Dylan Moss

Hi Dylan Do you currently work with the therapist?

Hi here we act as more or less as aa! This is support group join us

Google ocd meetup in your area see if theres any...check local community health centres also they run programs like this..

Hi Dylan. That sounds pretty crappy to be experiencing. My heart goes out to you. I think it's really important to get help - you really owe it to yourself. Congrats on reaching out here - I know it can be hard to do so. I would encourage you to find a therapist, and see a doctor who may be able to help that process with medication if that's what you want. I know in the depths of it, it can really feel impossible the idea of living a more 'normal' life but it is absolutely more achievable than you realise. My OCD 'mutates' quite a lot between different subtypes - but is 'pure' OCD and generally is fixated on morality, sexually intrusive thoughts and relationship decisions. I'm rooting for you - be kind to yourself xx

Thank you peggysantiago that is really nice of you to say!

How does your mortality relate to your ocd PeggySantiago?

Aditya Raj you are not alone sorry to hear that sounds terrible. I also struggle with severe perfectionist ocd! How are doing today?
