Would you consider adding an OCD forum as part of the main phobia forum?

[Fightingback]

Firstly, I feel that phobias, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are very much interconnected. Therefore, I was wondering if you would add an OCD forum the website where people can also discuss this particular issue. Unless you have suffered from OCD, it is difficult to explain exactly how it works.

My personal experience revolves around having to do things a certain number of times, checking and double checking doors and the constant worry that I have left something on. This can be extremely draining and while you try your best to hide it from loved ones and family, it is difficult to hide it forever. Does anyone else suffer from OCD, anxiety and phobias? This is not a great mix!

We havent pushed it specifically but there is already an OCD forum on the website:-

OCD (Obsessive Cleaning, Eating...)

Despite what many people may tell you OCD is real - just ask any one who suffers from this very stressful illness. Thankfully there are many ways in which you can control compulsive disorders.
