Winnipeg OCD

Winnipeg OCD Peer support group (not a professional service) for people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. We exist to create a sense of belonging and community.

We are a peer-led support group for adults affected by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We come together to share our struggles, cheer our successes, and learn about OCD and ways to overcome it. We welcome and respect diverse identities, cultures, ages, and abilities. Confidentiality, safety, and mutual respect are top priority.

STRAW POLL! Your honest feedback is required. Does this artwork remind you of OCD? Yes or no?

I'm thinking of using this artwork for the website of my project, OCD Peers Together, and I was inspired by the imagery in "Stuff That's Loud: a teen's guide to unspiraling when OCD gets loud" by Ben Sedley and Lisa Coyne. Does this work? Be honest!

Everyone has painful thoughts and feelings, and our lives are often shaped by how we cope with them. For those of us with OCD, the rituals and compulsions which are our coping mechanism can completely consume our lives. We literally become our thoughts and our pain, and it can be devastating.

Learning in OCD treatment to change my relationship to my thoughts was key. I used to think of my compulsions, which included self-harm, as life saving. It was terrifying and confusing to be told I needed to let go of them. Learning how to do this changed the course of my treatment.

This skill is still very difficult. I feel emotions very intensely and they still want to dictate how I live my life. I'd been working on this series for a while, when I got some upsetting news that shook me and made me question my self-worth. I wanted to tear up my plans, hide in bed, and binge-watch the latest Netflix thing. After giving myself time to let these thoughts and all that pain wash over me, I came back to finish these drawings. I sat in front of my computer with tears running down my face, but still drawing.

Being with my pain, but not becoming it or allowing it to dictate my life to me, continues to one of the hardest but most relevent things I learned in treatment for OCD. This is my new life-saver.
