Quit ocd an forum

[phil06]

If you don't make an effort on there they will do this Phil. You have to be seen to making steps to overcoming your OCD.

Yes I don’t understand why they have that approach I don’t think it’s helpful they accused other members of keeping a diary too.

[nomorepanic]

They want people to get better and not keep posting the same worries over and over so they put a stop to it when they see a pattern.

That forum hasn't closed your thread - they've "locked" it temporarily - and I think the mod was polite, understanding and explained reasons.

The problem is that you keep repeating yourself re the same issues, even though people have answered and given advice.

I have since quit this forum a second time due to being silenced on it and closing topics it would seem some people don’t want to read about your issues.

They were pushing CBT despite me paying for 8 sessions and it never worked well for me. I have read it’s not worked for other people too. I explained I can’t afford anymore CBT.

I’ve had cbt and it didn’t work for me because I was in the wrong place in life. It was a few months after my Dad had died and I don’t think I was coping with that very well. But I tried again, and I will continue to try again.
I think that the problem Phil is that you make excuses for your ocd and anxiety, and for the reasons you don’t try to help yourself through it.

Other people do this too, I have done. But you don’t seem to be willing to take advice or try and help yourself. Can you see how frustrated that may make some people feel?

[phil06]

Yes I am struggling with my ocd right now the most popular themes is toilet brushes/plungers/worry’s I have pood myself
or peed myself. I often have thought I never washed my hands after the toilet and such.

So yes it’s difficult as I find many items dirty due to these thoughts.

What are you doing to try and overcome these challenges, Phil?

[nomorepanic]

You have been here 13 years and I have not seen anything change to be honest and no progress made.

It appears that you don't understand why people are frustrated by your blanking of advice and repetition of issues and this is probably the major stumbling block with therapy.

Perhaps some people can’t recover?

Perhaps some people can’t recover?

That's the easy way out.

I don't know about "recover" but you can definitely get better. However, you won't know if you don't try.
