Having suffered from debilitating OCD and emetophobia in different forms in my life throughout the years, I decided it was time to give back and support others experiencing the same thing.

OCD Action is raising funds to support their vital Helpline service during the COVID-19 pandemic.OCD Action's Helpline provides support, information and a listening ear to people struggling with the condition. Their Helpline team know how lonely and isolating OCD can be, and how difficult it is to be housebound with no-one to turn to, and are committed to ensuring people do not feel alone.Many of our volunteers have personal experience of OCD and they are expertly trained to provide the understanding and care we know can make some of the more difficult times more manageable. They have worked hard since March to help people through this difficult time, making the difficult adjustment to working from home, and have continued to provide this point of stability and support. For many people during this difficult time, the OCD Action Helpline is an absolute lifeline.
