Hiya :) I just wanted to try and share my story again because I accidently deleted it all after I wrote it last time [:I] hehe.

Anyways where to begin... When I was very young I was taken to go and see someone about the way I was, I think it was a counciler or sombody like that because my parents were a bit concerned about me. I used to make sure the doors upstairs in my house were closed at all times and when we were out I would check the bottom of my shoes every minute or so to make sure they were clean, my room was also emaculate.
After a while; going to talk to someone every so often must have been helping because I got out of the habit of closing all the doors and checking my shoes, although I still like my room to be clean and tidy.
At school I was always the sensible one that couldn't bare to be late to my lessons and never skive off, which made me fall out with a few of my friends because I was boring and too sensible...I suppose it's a good thing that I am sensible though.

As the years went by I started to forget all about how I was in the past and I just thought I was a sensible person. Until I got with my boyfriend that is. I am a huge worrier and am constantly worrying about something which is why myself and others around me believe I have OCD.

I know this is not what you want to know about but when me and my boyfriend started to get intimate my worries started to really show. We were using protection and I was on the pill and have been for around a year and a half now. The first time my mum found out me and my boyfriend were intimate, was because I was crying my eyes out telling her I thought I was pregnant. Every month I would worry myself silly thinking I could be pregnant, making myself ill and ofcorse because I thought I may be pregnant I thought I was getting the symptoms of a pregnancy. Although people were promising me time and time again including the doctor that I was NOT pregnant. I still wouldn't listen. Like I said I have been on the pill for over a year now and am only just getting over my pregnancy worry and finally understand I can not get pregnant on the pill and that I AM taking it correctly...I now understand it.

But as soon as I was getting over this worry ofcorse another one began.
My boyfriend was attacked when I was with him. Pleae read --> http://www.thecomet.net/content/comet/news/story.aspx?brand=CMTOnline&category=News&tBrand=herts24&tCategory=newscomnew&itemid=WEED12%20Oct%202006%2011%3A13%3A02%3A400
This attack happened at the end of my road and the gang of youths still often hang around there attracted by the druggys that have recently moved in to our street. I stay at my boyfriends every weekend as it gets worse then and sometimes there are about 30 of them. I hate my boyfriend driving to my house and don't want him picking me up and dropping me home...Dad is my 24 hour taxi at the moment because I get sooo worried about my boyfriend coming anywhere near my street. I stay clear of my local shops where they also hang around sometimes and I feel sick everytime I know I might see them.
What is not helping my situation is that I found out from this incident how rubbish the police are round my area therefore I don't feel safe anymore. I was a nervous person even before this happened.
Everyone tells me not to worry, that it won't happen again and that everything is fine but I still can't stop worrying and people are starting to get annoid of my worry's. Although I know I have so much support.
Mum gets so worried about me...My worries are causing my mum worries because sometimes it makes me ill.

I have court on 8th March and hope things get better soon.

Thankyou for your time

Vikki

Hi Vix,
I didn't think your story was too long! I read it today at work and was quite touched by it. I read the newspaper article about your boyfriend, I can't believe that happened, really scary. I hope he has recovered from it now (physically I mean). I can understand some of what you are going through, I don't know if I have OCD because I don't check things but I do have very intrusive thoughts that are mainly irrational worries about all sorts of things. The worst is that I worry about loved ones, that something might happen to them. I also have health worries, am claustrophic (lifts generally) and don't like going away on business anywhere. Basically I'm a sad case! I'll tell you my story when I've got more time, that will be even much longer than your post!!
Anyway we are all here to help and we are thinking of you take care
Dicky

Hi Vikki!

Short story or long story - they're all worth reading, and equally important :)

I haven't read the link yet, but I will.
Won't say 'try not to worry' cos we all do at times (only some more than others!) - just want to say we're all here for you and you need never to be reluctant to post at anytime. If you don't post, you can't get support right?
And we're all here to support each other!

lotsa luv to you

GG [:P]

Me again Vikki!

Just read the newspaper report - how absolutely awful. But what a brave young man your Chris is :)

My eldest daughter is a police officer with Devon & Cornwall so I can understand the position your police found themselves in. But, I think it's chronic that any police force should be that understaffed that victims have to wait, and therefore prolong their suffering, to get the incident seen to.

Your Chris seems a strong character, and I wish him (and you) some peace over this as you wait for the court appearence.

lotsa luv

GG [:P]

Thank's for replying :) means alot!
I totally understand police officers can be very busy as they were checking their watches and getting lots of phonecalls when talking to us, but I feel they were not taking our case seriously as we had to keep ringing and reminding them to take statements etc. Maybe there were more urgent jobs they needed to attend to; in which I know are important and must be done. In the end they sent us an officer from another station who was being as helpful as he could. Although when they did get round to it they seemed quite nice. You have to be brave to have a job like that and I do respect them. I suppose I expected them to work like magic hehe.

I think Chris is being really brave and handled it very well, he is just getting on with hes life and doesn't get worried or scared to drive past them like I do. I wish I could do the same but I suppose thats just the way I am so I have to get on with it.

Thank's again ;) I will let you know how the court case goes.

Take care

Hi Vix
I have Ocd and have read your story so can relate to a lot of what you,ve said.
I think that it could be benificial for you to go to your gp and tell him you think you have an anxiety disorder so that you can get a proper diagnosis from a specialist so you know exactly what your dealing with!!
Once you have a clear understanding of your condition you can start to tackle it. I know when I first started to have my worries and intrusive thoughts it felt like the whole world was spinning in my head and I thought I was going crazy!!!!
Your gp may also suggest some self help books which can help a lot when trying to understand anxiety disorders as there are certan things you should try to do and other things you should try to avoid.
If you look at the post underneath yours when you first click on forum, OCD, read down my topic and youll see i suggested a book for someone to read which helped me no end!!

Hope this is help full

Thank's for all your help :)
Was talking to mum the other day and she told me a few things about me when I was younger that I wasn't even aware of, she said I did used to wash my hands alot and when I made a mistake in my work or in a colouring I wouldn't just cross it out I would have to start all over again.
Atleast now I know why I am like this and can hopefully solve it!

Take care

hi vicky i read your story and i understabd what your saying about the police . i used to live in lincolnshire in a little village we had to move after having death threats from the nieghbours . it was awful i had to leave my autistic son and my husband there . and take my other son and stay with my mum in milton keynes . it got so bad for my husband he had to leave as well . we contacted the police and it took them four days to come round to take statments from us both .after that we spoke to the council in lincs and they told us to give them the names after we spoke to the police and then they could take action so we did but no action was taken at all so yet again these people got away with it . i dont blame the police we didnt get hurt but if we went back i know something would of happened .my old nieghbours were bullys and they have done it before and will do it again i used to like lincolnshire i lived there as a child but i will never go back there
