Austin, TX -- The OCD Austin self-help support group (not affiliated with ACTOCD) meets 1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. Call Jean Milberger at 512 292-9308 for location and details (no web site).
This is an on-line OCD support group with over 1,000 members. Each day, the group generates between 20 and 80 e-mail postings which you can initiate, read, or reply to
(or just delete if you're not interested in that topic or "thread"). Of course,
you can remain totally anonymous by just reading your received e-mails and not posting anything.
Membership is not restricted to individuals with OCD.
The list has discussions on OCD treatments, how OCD affects us, our families, and other relationships, and what things have worked or not worked for us.
OCD experts James Claiborn, PhD, Michael Jenike, MD, and Jonathan Grayson, PhD are active participants.
