As those that read this blog know the writer has severe OCD, in looking for a North Wales suppport Group it has found that there is a lack of a on line help, it was suggested that I start a one line site for those in North Wales that would like to discuss the condition. As having the condition in the real world might cause job or family problems this blog is keeping it under its on line presence of Views from the UK 2006. There will be no politics on the THIS OCD page, thus even liberals, Guardian readers are welcome, the problem is with OC is that everybody thinks they understand the subject, as any one with OCD will tell you the condition is complex and has many outcomes. As this blog has a severe condition it find it sometimes just hard to get out of bed, it takes five tablets a night, and they work, the constant negative worries are contained, or forgotten, of course washing hands has not be solved, thus what do you say to a future employer, that you have the need to wash your hands more often than not, that you will clean you computer with a wipe just to make sure no else has used it. This OCD once saw a show that showed that one of the great places to have germs is a keyboard, thus the need to wipe if at work and at home when you take the computer out. When this blog travels, it cleans it keyboard, the computer and the case, yes it sounds nuts, but when it is does not done is causes a constant worry, are there any germs on it, can I use it outside if it is not clean.
Of course in the real World when you tell someone you have the condition it does cause an eyebrow to rise, most OCD people are alright around sharp objects. One finds people to joke about the condition, its can be funny SOMETIMES, but when you have had a BAD day or those negative thoughts will not be contained it is irrating, but you smile, people expect you to see the funny side, it is funny sometimes, looking back, when you have retraced your steps, did you hear something or did someone give you the evil eye. As I said the tablets can help, but sometimes you just to talk to someone who does not judge, but understands, thus this page under Views from the UK 2006. Please feel to leave a critic of this post or just to tell your story, the comments judge is on, thus ALL messages will be checked. Thank you for reading this post.
P.S One finds that even telling your friends can cause problems, you expect support, but sometimes you find that they are not THERE, this is blog POST is for YOU, if there is no one to talk to you, just leave a message and hopefully we can have a North Wales presence to help everyone with the condition in North Wales.
