A person in my family has OCD and no one has ever brought it up. I don't feel safe around them especially when they are driving. They seem sniff their fingers or touch their face so many times in a row to where I swear we will crash. They do it outside the car but I don't really care or notice as much. Every time it happens I feel so embarrassed for them and sad to where I just want to scream! It's been going on since I was little but didn't know what it could be till a couple years ago.

How do you bring it up or even confront someone that they must have OCD? I just want them to get help but I think they have too much pride. sad.gif

hmmmmmm. i have OCD, and people used to always joke around with me and say i had it. u should tell them about it regardless of if they will deny it, there's always a chance someone doesn't know what it is, or doesn't know there's a reason they do things compulsively

What if they are older like an Aunt of Uncle and you'll feel like you're intruding? I'm 19 and I'm sure they would brush me off because of my age.
