Any mums with ocd in Hampshire, UK?

[HayleyNoah82Participant]

Hi I’m new to the website and forum so hope I’m posting in the right place..

I have had ocd for probably as long as I remember but properly diagnosed around age 21. I met hubby later in life, I’m 42 and have a 3 year old.

Some days coping with a little one and my ocd can be hard. I live in Andover, Hampshire, UK. Are there any mums nearby who would like to message or maybe meet up? I find being a mum with ocd lonely as friends and other mums don’t understand the struggles involved. If you’re in a similar boat or local please get in touch, would be lovely to hear from you!

Hi

You can find out about support groups on our website – these are open to people with OCD and some involve family members too.

They offer a safe place where you can talk openly about OCD and support and encourage other people too. Our information about UK-based groups can be found here:

• Local independent support groups: https://ocdaction.org.uk/i-need-support/local-support/
• OCD Action Skype/Phone/Zoom support groups: https://ocdaction.org.uk/i-need-support/ocd-action-skype-phone-zoom-support-groups/

You can also contact the OCD Action Helpline and Email Service to talk to or email someone who understands OCD.

Our Helpline volunteers provide confidential and unbiased help, information and support for people with OCD (and their family members too).

Most volunteers have personal experience of OCD; all understand OCD and how it can impact a family’s life.

Contact our Helpline by:

• phone: 0300 636 5478 (this is a UK number).
• email: support@ocdaction.org.uk

You can also find out about support groups on our website – these are open to people

And please remember that you’re never alone – OCD Action is always here to help and support you.
