Hello,
I am new to NMP and only came across the site 2 days ago. Just being able to have a look and read such familiar stories and experiences to mine has already been comforting.
I have suffered from OCD from a very young age and to be honest I can not recall actually not living and suffering with it. So I've struggled mainly silently for approximately 16 years. (I am now 24).
I have also been diagnosed with generalised anxiety and received cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) earlier this year when I realised I needed to seek professional help.
The CBT has actually been great for me. I have learnt some very helpful techniques. I am however no where near to the point I wish to be regarding my anxiety and OCD behaviours. This I why I have joine this sight as I hope to gain a better understanding and learn/ improve upon the progress I har already made. As well as share my experiences and hopefully inturn help others along their journey to recovery!
I look forward to reading more on NMP and learning about others and myself along the way!
Thank you all in advance for the benefits I believe I will gain from this.
Lottie :-D
