Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
I have had OCD since i was a kid, and it has taken over my adult life...im semi-functional now, but still have to deal with my counting,touching, and arranging habits...ive tried ERP before, but ii have so many compulsions that it has been hard knowing where to start. Ive have not been helped by a lot of medications and my psychiatrist does not want to give me OCD meds now because they might trigger mania...im also bipolar...what should i do?
Search for some in your area on google or see if any are under the OCD foundation

The best way to accomplish ERP is through a Behavior Therapist
also you can look into a Inpatient or Residential treatment center for OCD
