Do you know that OCD Action has dedicated resources for carers, including carers or parents of children with OCD? Our Carers page is here: https://ocdaction.org.uk/i-need-support/carers/
OCD Action knows that however much you love the child 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.
We have some resources for carers and loved ones on our Resources page – just click on “I am a carer or loved one and want some resources” here: https://ocdaction.org.uk/resources/#carers
We hope you find this helpful!
