I have been increasingly active here for the past month and have really been trying to pour my heart into not only posting about my own problems but trying to help other people here as well. I have never really given this site a good looking over (it's like a mall!) and I see now that out of all the forums, maybe only one applies to me and that one being the "anxiety" forum. I was just wondering how the senior staff here might feel about adding an Obscessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) forum here. OCD is very common and affects millions so I think you might get a lot of people posting there (I know I would). Anyway, I don't know if that fits into the whole "theme" of the site but just a suggestion:-)

I think it's a great idea. Granted I don't have OCD, but I think others could benefit from it.

I'm barely able to pull myself out of bed in the mornings and function all day but I finally worked up the energy to create an Avatar...

A MAJOR accomplishment for me...YIPEEE!!! Just realized something...

The "anxiety forum" also takes OCD posts/replies of support, take another look at the title, I know when we look over the forum titles we can miss something. . . I know I do, plus I am a slow reader Just realized something...
Hope this helps.

Please take care,
DE

I like your post, Goose. But then, I'm partial to bird avatars.

I agree butterfly. It does get lost. I think a single forum for OCD is a good idea. I'd be there all day long. What do ya think Doc J?

Thank's for the kind words on my AV:-). Yes, it would be kind of nice if "OCD" had it's own separate forum. OCD afflicts a lot of people and encompasses a lot of individual sub-disorders so there would be plenty to talk about, that's for sure. Well, I won't push my luck but here's keeping my fingers crossed...
