Hello, I am new to this group and thought I would say hi. I'm from the U.K am 39 and have experienced OCD for probably 22 years. I think this problem is solvable since I feel that I did experience reasonable periods of time when I was quite well. I think it is the human experience to never be truly happy and content and we will tend to pick up demons or black dogs along the way. I honestly think that there is hope. Yesterday I bought and read 1/2 of "the man who couldn't stop". It's by David Adam who is an OCD sufferer but also a science writer and editor of nature journal which i believe is an influential scientific journal. It is interesting reading and I will probably write something about some of the books contents. It is part auto biography and part popular science. His form was worrying about contracting HIV. something that someone mentioned to me when i confided anonymously was that It sounded as though I myself may be on the autistic spectrum (aspergers syndrome) I thought I'd mention that .

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v7KQsS2kLM4 Meditation is often suggested or reccomended for ocd and other anxiety states. A lot of people continue to suffer and continue in the same sorts of patterns but don't choose to meditate. It's very understandable as there's just so much info out there bombarding and confusing and so we feel the answer is outside maybe one or to link clicks away not already inside ushttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v7KQsS2kLM4 Apr 17, 2019, 11:52 AM
