  • in reply to: OCD – is it really an issue? #1052529

    I know this is a dead topic but to adorable – I don’t know about this woman you heard about but when the OCD behavior is about religious things (as it is with me, according to the opinions that I have it in the first place) there tends to be a good deal of rationality involved. Sometimes all it takes is pointing to the right place in the shulchan aruch and the behavior stops. Other times the person might need a special heter custom-made for them. Maybe by non-religious stuff its also rational – I wouldn’t know.

    TikunHatzot – The way I see it is that all treatments are annoying. They are expensive, and they either play around with your brain or take a significant time commitment. Some may have side effects too. So since they’re annoying, they should only be taken when the O and C become even more annoying than the alternative. Or if you feel a religious obligation to go on treatment, which is often related to how disturbing the O and C is. My take on things.

    Hello everyone,

    As we are approaching Shabbos Chanuka, we hope to have our first meeting this motzei shabbos. We also hope to have weekly meetings on regular weeks as well. Please understand that not everyone in our group considers themselves to have OCD. Some may really not have OCD and some may have it, but all of us have certain behaviors that, to the outsider, can appear like OCD and this is what we share in common.

    Dear Mods,

    Please explain, in the rules section of the cofee room, what it means when a post (topic) is only visible to the person who posted it, but the person who posted it has not been notified that it was deleted. Was it deleted?
