      Hey,

      thanks for getting back to me.

      I am on a waiting list for a particular therapist that specialises in OCD. I have been having spikes recently, so I post to get some reassurance from people as to whether this is a typical OCD thought.

      it helps whilst I’m waiting for therapy.

        Hello:

        Forum moderators here – it sounds like you’re going through a difficult time and we’d like to help.

        We understand why you were hoping forum users could answer your question: “…is it the OCD or do you think this is weird?” We’re sorry but users can’t tell you for certain if your thoughts are related to OCD. Only a medical professional who is familiar with your OCD can answer this type of question.

        We’re concerned that you say you have “OCD” but you don’t mention if you’re  getting professional help or treatment – are you? You shouldn’t be dealing with this on your own and there is help out there for you.

        OCD Action has a lot of information about accessing treatment and support – a good start is to look at this page: https://ocdaction.org.uk/learn-about-ocd/treatment-overview/

        Also, you can contact the OCD Action Helpline to talk to or email someone who understands OCD and can help you find information about accessing support and treatment.

        Our Helpline volunteers have personal experience of OCD; all understand how it can impact your entire life. Contact our Helpline by:

        And please remember that you’re never alone – OCD Action is here to help and support you.

        Best wishes, Forum Moderators
