We are not alone

[KLAParticipant]

Thank you for sharing your lives everyone here, now I know I am alone, with this ocd that tortures me!! It has been with me for years. Can’t let myself to trust my thoughts as I fear always what I was thinking about and also fear forgetting it too. So overwhelming and exhausting, but I’ve found this place where someone else understands!

You can also find out about support groups on our website. These offer a safe place where you can talk openly about OCD and support other people too. Our information about UK-based groups can be found here:
