I understand what you mean Lee when you say you are concerned you are using the
board for reassurance.

I suppose I'm going against what is taught in CBT, but sometimes reassurance is
OK IMHO.

We're not super human and there are days in our lives when all the thoughts,
doubts and fear come back and try to get us again.

If you feel that coming here is maybe harming you, then maybe that's your Ocd? I
don't know just wondering. Coming to these boards shouldn't really cause any
discomfort :)

Posting our thoughts and concerns here won't just help us, but it will help
others who happen along here, who are going through hell and maybe help them
figure out what's wrong with them. Does that make sense?

One of the things about OCD is we used to think we were mad and the only ones
going through this. Scared to go to the doctor, because we thought he would lock
us up.

So I suppose the title of this thread is quite apt. "Alone"

Support is one of the best forms of CBT and we could make this group just like
that for ourselves and for those who will come here.

Most of us have had this for years and we have the wisdom knowledge and
experience to pass on to others in the same situation, don't you agree?

I'm not trying to take this group over and I hope it doesn't appear that way. I
was just concerned it didn't seem very active and even the owner of the board
doesn't appear to be around!

Shame I don't live very close to where the OCD meeting is as I would have liked
to try and get a long.

Take care all

Keith
