      When I focus on my OCD and BDD and give it power all I do is cry and feel miserable because I’ve convinced myself I have it and then feel worse because all of this was so self inflicted by me? I don’t know if this is because I actually have OCD and don’t want to or if it is just the OCD or BDD convincing me and making me miserable?

      I know people struggle so that’s a huge worry that this is just the same and I’m struggling with it all. But i don’t  think it’s OCD or BDD which makes me fall down a rabbit hole. But then the fact that this isn’t stopping and I always come back to OCD makes me think I’m upset because I have it?

        Our Helpline volunteers provide confidential and unbiased help, information and support for people with OCD. Most volunteers have personal experience of OCD; all understand OCD and how it can impact an entire life. Contact our Helpline by:

        You can also find out about support groups on our website. 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:

        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/
