Do you have OCD?
Hey everyone hope you’re doing well :)
I am a 20 year old trans woman, I have had OCD since I was 7 and throughout my life I have met countless trans & queer people who have suffered/are suffering with OCD. The support offered to us by health services is lacklustre and online support groups usually just add a queer group on as an afterthought.
I’m not allowed to do a poll on here sadly! Intrigued to know how much interest there would be in a nationwide mostly online support group specifically for us. Peer led - so not to be replaced with therapy, mostly for community and the isolation it can bring, unless of course I could find a professional who would volounteer.
Yes, there are other groups that exist, like the ones ran by OCD Action, it is however consistently full.
There would be a website which would include info about
Key information about OCD and treatments (obviously already exists)
These groups and who they are for, aswell as the structure of sessions (if there was enough interest, specifically BIPOC and other groups would be set up)
+ Any suggestions!!
“interested”
“not for me”
options are in the comments please don’t downvote either option only upvote the one that suits you. :)
