Ocd long story

[luellajc11Participant]

So my mum’s had ocd for almost 10 years and initially I really thought she’d get better. But now things have changed and I actually don’t think she’ll get better. She’s stopped caring about her thoughts and don’t even feel bad about them anymore. She says part of her agrees with the thoughts and feelings and almost want them to be true. If I could choose my life it would be better than this. I don’t think I can or even want to go back to before my mum’s ocd and I’m trying to live my life with her having it but it’s hard. I’m just curious to see if anyone has ever been in this situation before.

Hi

We want you to know that 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 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/

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 always here to help and support you.
