HI, This is Penny here.
I have been a Member for some time,and read the Posts
Daily with intrest, however, this is the first time that
I feel safe to share my feelings.
I'm in the Mature Members sections, have had
Anxiety, Fears, Panics, Stresses for many years.
The main thing is OCD,with a mixture of the previous
things mentioned.
I have had times when the Symptoms have been only mild,
I thought that then, I would like to study these
conditions so did some studies and took Exams.
This knowledge allowed me to work with people that
needed help and I did really enjoy the Work.
I do Charity Work now and Work on Help lines.
Now, in my mature years,the Feelings seem to Return.
This is why I have had to come here to all you nice people,
to see if I can get some Help now.
The OCD that I have is, Pefection.
Every thing has to be done in a certain way.
Even getting in or out of the Chair,
going in and out of the door, even going in the
Kitchen has it's own set of Rules.
Every thing takes SO long.
The Family have never really understood these things.
During this Holiday I felt very Tense,
because I could not do some of the Rituals to
make me feel safe.
I feel that you people here DO understand,
I want to make new Friends here, so that the
Self Esteem will get stronger.
I found that when I was Studying, it was the way that
we feel about our selves that is part of the cure process.
I'm now saying a big Hello to Nicky for this wondeful
Site, she has really got something going here.
Meg is also wonderful with all her good words that
She has for the Members.
I thank you for letting me Post here.
I do hope to get to know a lot of you as Friends soon.
Best Wishes,
Penny,
