Hello all,

My name is Chris, I am 22 and have been suffering with severe anxiety and what I believe is now OCD for a long time, which begun as being more about rituals and compulsions but has slowly evolved into being almost totally obsession based. I am an art student that has been under a deal of stress recently and I suppose this has lead to my most recent attack.

I am seeking treatment for my problems whilst still having the awful doubts that I am actually losing my mind and will lose everyone. OCD sucks!

I am currently studying art and in my spare time, I enjoy martial arts, running, watching films etc. Nice to meet you!
