REAL_OCD

Raising awareness of OCD. My aim is to help stamp out the stigma that’s still attached to OCD and educate others of the disorder. #realocd.

@ocdrecovery What ifs, visualise them…. Feel them and think “yep maybe it could happen maybe it won’t”. Rather than trying to map our anxiety on a scale of 0-10 and how realistic they are to happen. ERP lets you sit and LIVE with the worse case scenario. Hope this makes sense 😶😁

@ocdrecovery Like you’ve said…… it’s been around in some way for many years. But having this therapy on a 1-2-1 basis and learning new coping mechanism and skills is AMAZING ! I feel CBT is more around thinking “what’s the worse that could happen”…. Where ERP gets you to sit with those…

Please don’t get frustrated with your family members with OCD. Get frustrated at their OCD. This isn’t them. They don’t want this. They are equally as frustrated as you. Living with OCD can feel like you are overtaken and have lost all control over yourself. We’re still in here.

Many of the people I encounter who have #OCD say that their #recovery is not working because their anxiety is not going down.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions of what true #OCDrecovery looks like! In fact, things might feel worse before they feel better.

#realOCD isn’t a cute quirk or an adjective to describe yourself. It’s a REAL mental illness that’s significantly distressing for the sufferer and loved ones. Be kind, research the disorder and help #stampoutthestigma we can make the change that’s needed to mental ill health !

Dispelling the #OCD myth that it's just about being neat and tidy. My ocd actually hinders my level of tidiness and self care

This account is that of the Liverpool OCD Support Group.
The group has been running for over 10 years. We meet the 1st Wednesday of the month for 2 hours.
We are a group for sufferers and their familys.
The group is a safe place where OCD can be talked about and never judged.

"OCD is a devastating condition that affects all areas of your life".

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most widely misunderstood mental health conditions. Leading expert Dr @Lynne_Drummond explains how in the worst cases it can lead to people losing their lives.

OCD action week: 'What helped you in your journey with OCD?'
For me, medication helped so much & specific sustained CBT/ERP therapy changed my life. I also changed jobs - removing much stress from my daily life. Staying highly creative keeps OCD away for me #Mewithocd @ocdaction

[Gemma Crabtree @pollyrocket22]

This is me. I have OCD, a lifelong mental health condition, which nearly took my life. Now say this: “I’m so OCD”. I’m so Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Doesn’t make sense, does it? #thisismyOCD @OCDUK @ocdaction @IOCDF @TamingOlivia #ocd #perinatalocd @FoxRedLabrador

[Gemma Crabtree @pollyrocket22]

Come on #imacelebrity allowing someone to say they’re “so OCD” in their introductory spiel, perpetuating the misconception that OCD is about being tidy and keeping order. I wish it was just that; not a terrifying lifelong mental health condition @TamingOlivia @ocdaction @OCDUK

[Charlie Smith @charliersmith1]

Just cos you like things tidy, it doesn’t mean you’re so OCD

It’s a deliberating illness that ruins lives and, cos of comments like that, it took me over 15 years to seek help. We need to do better 💚

#ImACeleb has only been on a few moments and @ITV have already allowed the misuse of #OCD to take place!WOW, in 2021 we are still stigmatising mental health and allowing it to be aired on prime time TV ! Disgusting, Not useful and damaging. @arlenephillips please educate yourself
