Hi Mark

Welcome to the message forum

Sorry to hear that you have lost friends over your condition - it doesn't help does it?

What sort of form does your OCD take?

Have you seen anyone professionally about it?

I hope we can answer some of your questions.

Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind.
If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.

Hi Mark,

Welcome to the forum!! It sounds like you have been through some rough times - it's very unfair that you have lost friends over something that you can't control and that you need help with!! I'm sure you will meet loads of nice people here. [^]

I have been on every medication there is and nothing really helps I have seen every therapist going but nothing really helps.

In reply to your question NO I dont see my baby my gf has a new life now I just couldnt cope and when she told me she was pregnant I wasnt supportive because I panicked didnt know how I would be able to cope.

Hi Mark

So sorry you felt you couldnt cope and you dont feel you supported her when she was pregnant. You have had a tough time and hopefully on here you will get some excellent help and support.

I am pleased you have joined the site as it will help you.

Medication can help some and not others and there are so many different types, i know as i have tried loads but was lucky and found one that helped me.

I know you suffer ocd but what symptoms do you have and how can we help you cope better.
