      Hi I think bad thoughts and maybe it’s OCD? Does anyone know what to do if you don’t know for sure if you have OCD? Is it a good idea to discuss OCD with your GP?

        Hi:

        Forum moderators here; thanks for posting and we’re sorry you haven’t had many replies yet. Please don’t take this personally or ever think you’re alone – if you look at the forums, you can read other users’ topics that are similar to yours.

        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 information and support for people with OCD (and anyone who thinks they may have OCD). Most volunteers have personal experience of OCD; all understand how it can impact your entire life. Contact our Helpline by:

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

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

          Yes, but not all GPs are as up on ocd. You may have to do your own research and go in with specific requests.
