I've had OCD since I was 12, I'm now 34. I have
Always managed to hide my checking and ordering from
everyone around me. I qualified as a Mental Health Nurse
8 years ago. When my ward was closed last year and I was
moved to another it caused a massive collapse in my ability to hide my
OCD and my ability to deal with it.
I have been off work for almost a year and have now also been
diagnosed with clinical depression. I have been on every medication
available and my Psychiatrist isn't very supportive. Due to continious
horrific side effects, I don't take any medication.
I just want to go back to work as I feel being at
home all day with my constant negative thoughts is making
things worse. I can't feel with this any more, I really can't :'''(
