I've had ocd for several years.I've also got chronic fatigue syndrome (cfs) that keeps me at home and I'm agoraphobic.I'm being treated for all my health problems by an alternative health practitioner.I'm almost cured of ocd but I'm bored and lonely.
Here's how ocd was affecting me:
unable to change into clean/ or new clothes.
unable to move things around my home
unable to remove recyclables and rubbish from my home..
unable to prepare food/cook food and eat food when I'm on my own.
unable to clean out my fridge/freezer of all foods that have been there since ocd started.
unable to shave my beard(I forgot to mention I'm a guy),trim my finger nails,trim my toenails,trim my hair (usual grooming")
unable to wash my clothes,linen,etc.
Thats the worst of ocd.(Now you know why I'm here.)
The good news is,the cfs has eased off a little,the ocd is almost gone and I feel better in my mind than I have for years.My overall wellbeing is very good considering I'm bored and lonely.I can do almost all of the things that ocd stopped me doing.
Even though I've posted here a few times before I still havent found new friends. I'd really like some suggestions.
Thanks .
Chris.
