Intrusive false thoughts

[kevParticipant]

Hi everyone,

i was wondering if anyone can help. My son’s ocd has been always surrounded by bad and scary thoughts. In the past 6 months he had an issue where his ocd made him feel more scared. To resolve this he started filming himself to make sure that he knew when he did the compulsions. He’s lost his independence the way things are at the moment. I was wondering if anyone who’s had had this issue or can advise of any help

Hello:

We just want you to know that you can also contact the OCD Action Helpline to talk to or email someone who understands OCD.

Contact our Helpline by:

• phone: 0300 636 5478 (this is a UK number).

You can also find out about support groups on our website – these are for people with OCD and some include family members. These offer a safe place where you can talk openly about OCD and support other people too. Our information about UK-based groups can be found here:

If you don’t live in the UK, you can look for groups near you on the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) website. Look in the section “Find Help” and then under “Listing Types”, choose “Support Groups”: https://iocdf.org/

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