Your best option for ocd?

[kellyberryman3Participant]

Hi everyone:

My mum thinks I have OCD and is really pushing me to go to therapy, but I’m kinda scared. Is therapy really the best option for ocd?

I think it can certainly help.

There is a book available on amazon by David d Burns, that I  keep on my shelf.

It is called ‘The feeling good handbook ‘

It is easy reading, really down to earth.

Another writer is Lee Brosan. Reading alongside therapy helps, especially as there will almost certainly be a bit of a waiting list for the therapy itself

If you want to talk to someone who understands, you can also contact the OCD Action Helpline – our Helpline volunteers provide confidential information and support for people with OCD (and anyone who thinks they may have OCD). Most volunteers have personal experience of OCD; all understand how it can impact your entire life.

Contact our Helpline by:

• phone: 0300 636 5478
• email: support@ocdaction.org.uk

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:

• 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 here to help and support you.

Best wishes,
