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.
So I bet everyone on here feels that OCD really stinks and I definitely agree, but there is good in everything. I was wondering if anyone could think of one good thing about having his/her OCD. (I think I asked this awhile ago, but I thought I should ask this question again).
Also, if there is anyone on here who needs someone to talk to I am here to listen. I will listen to anyone and I like to think that I know a lot about OCD so I am available to talk.
Everyone please remember that things will get better!

1) It gives me a much greater
understanding of and compassion
for anyone with a mental illness.
2) It completely stopped my habit
of biting my fingernails.
3) It helps to keep me sober; the
thought of blacking out and not
knowing what I did now that my
OCD is symptomatic is terrifying.
4) It helps me to KNOW that I'm a
fighter, and I'm strong, even if
I don't feel like it.
5) It puts other difficulties in
perspective.
6) The fear of OCD keeps me from
indulging in other addictions
such as, say, "relationship
addictions".
7) While OCD is, at times, hellishly
difficult, there ARE treatments
for it.
(Plus, I get to meet all you
great people.....)
