OCD Support Groups Online

work stress

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, like many other mental conditions, is rooted deep in a person’s psyche. As an anxiety disorder, it can get better or worse depending on the status and stability of one’s mental health, and what a given sufferer is doing to help themselves get better. Although a plethora of medicinal options exist for OCD, the talking treatment is always advisable in some capacity.

Sometimes people don’t have friends, family or co-workers that they feel comfortable talking to when it comes to OCD. This could be a result of embarrassment, shyness, loneliness or any number of factors. Luckily, the internet provides such sufferers with anonymous, free and easy-to-use means of getting in touch with people who are either undergoing or have undergone similar problems, and who want to help. A lot of these types of OCD support groups exist online.

Here is a list of the some of the more well-known OCD online support groups:

Christians with OCD, SerenityBay main group
This is an exclusive group for hoarders who are trying to understand their illness. It is a closed group for those who are struggling and dealing with their issues. There are many aspects, which contribute to this psychological illness. If you don't own the problem you will never recover. This is about obsession recovery from our stuff, it is intertwined with many other factors. We are here for Fun, Christian Fellowship and Encouragement. I am not an expert in the field but a fellow traveler who is trying to find recovery and looking for friendship. Rest assured, you are not alone. If you have trouble making decisions on where to start and what to toss, you have come to the right place. Let's work together on downsizing and tossing our clutter. "Less is More" ... our vision is to have homes that are "User Friendly" and "Company Ready" at all times. This will be a safe place to vent and share our journey. Blessings, Anna http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/SerenityBayHoarding/
