Hi guys...
I wonder if you can help me.
Ive been an OCD sufferer .........forever! It took the form of many different guises but just now I am plagued with rituals and ruminations which are running and ruining my life. I thought enough was enough and went to my GP who have referred to the Mental Health Trust hospital to be assessed. The thing is, I am on the verge of bottling out because I have this fear that they're gonna lock me up!
My traits are opening and shutting doors repeatedly - i dont open windows anymore because that would take me toooo long. I have a real problem with shampoo bottles/washing up bottles - any squeezy bottles in that I would squeeze it to excess. For example, one large shampoo bottle will only last me 3 washes and we all know how expensive shampoo is. I have to do shed loads of ruminations and rituals.
On my hospital form, i need to outline what my problems are... I could do this but because there are so many and they do run my life, im afraid that if i do submit the form, the preferbial 'men in white coats' will come and get me.
Has anyone had to fill out the form? do you know how bad you have to be before you are locked up or sectioned?
Many thanks
