Looking for a happy place for me and mum

[jasonstjulian9Participant]

I have ocd and so does my mum and this might sound like an odd question but I’m looking for a happy place for us to go on a mini-Break in the UK. Like a B and B or something where they’ll be understanding of OCD. Today at my support group meeting, we had a long conversation, about travelling with OCD, like, what could possibly go wrong? I feel this vacation planning is just a form of testing myself, like is my OCD controlling me from doing fun things? A holiday should be about being in that happy place not stressing and stressing about it. Any advice?
