There is always hope

Hope, there is aways hope when it comes to your OCD alot of people may read my blog and think he is still struggling everyday, so what hope is there for me?

Well if you compared how i am now, to how i was before i got support and help you would realise how much hope there is so i am going to tell you more about me when i was coping with my OCD on my own, Here is a list of things i couldn't do because my OCD convinced me something really bad would happen to me or a loved one.

Couldn't play the computer games i wanted to play

Couldn't wash or shave when i wanted

Couldn't eat at all to the point i shot down to only 7 stone in weight

Couldn't get undressed when i wanted to go to bed i literally had to sleep in my clothes

Several hours of ritualising including tapping the floor, repeating footsteps

THEN i finally got help i reached a point where i could not keep it a secret anymore with my parents noticing my lack of eating, poor hygeine and weight loss, it was a big huge step to admit about my OCD because i had no idea how they would react to the fact i avoided all these things for such a reason.

They was very understanding lucky for me and willing to listen when they didn't understand, i found support groups online, the right medication and got myself into CBT therapy, sadly admit i had to go private due to a poor NHS service but never let that put you off.

So you see i may still struggle but i am so much better than i use to be and so can you :)
