Hi
I have joined today. I have never used a forum before but am so pleased that I have found this site.
I have had OCD for as long as I remember (sometimes it can be a nightmare trying to get me out of a house!) and have always been a real worrier but recently it has got alot worse. I have been getting awful anxiety and keep worrying that I have got an awful illness. I realised that I had to do something about it when I had a panic attack and almost fainted on the tube as I read an article about a virus! I dont really know why I keep thinking I am ill but it is the most overpowering feeling and I find that I cant concentrate on anything else.
I know I have to do something about it (even though I have ignored the OCD for so long) which is why I have just signed up for counciling and am waiting for a space to open up.
It was kind of a relief finding this website, as I was reading through some of the threads and introductions I recognised so many traits that I have myself. It is reassuring to know that it isnt just me...
