We want to be sure everyone knows that the OCD Action website has dedicated resources for carers of people with OCD.
OCD Action knows that however much you like or love the person you are caring for, the emotional and physical demands of caring can be extremely stressful. Things can be particularly difficult when you live with them and you feel you have no time to relax and unwind.
Everyone reacts differently to the stresses of caring. But when carers get together, they often find they share many of the same feelings. Some of the most common feelings carers describe are: frustration, resentment, guilt, anger, fear, loneliness, depression.
You can read an introduction on our Carers page here: https://ocdaction.org.uk/i-need-support/carers/
We have more resources for carers and loved ones on our Resources page – just click on “I am a carer or loved one and want some resources” on this page: https://ocdaction.org.uk/resources/#carers
We hope you find this helpful!
