My brother has OCD and he has trouble with moving and change in general. He always hated leaving to go on holiday and once he had a panic attack while we were on the motorway on the way to Cornwall and we had to go back home. But when he went to Ireland to stay with family he didn’t want to come back home and was depressed about it for weeks when he got back. Eventually he ended up stuck in his room for 2 years (while he was about 17 to 19) unable to sit in certain places or look at certain walls. At the height of his illness he was in bed for 2 weeks and it took him hours to open his eyes but i’m not quite sure why. He was eventually forced to go to a hospital ward and now he has overcome much of his illness, although it is still there- he doesn’t like anything from his past and will not visit the village were he lived or the town were he went to school. He won’t travel too far South and won’t go north more than a few miles. But he is able to live comfortably where he is. I don’t think OCD can be totally cured- even when my brother appears to be cured he will often have a small relapse and there are many rituals he does (such as with his eyes) which are unnoticable to most people.

Ive looked everywhere to try to get information on
ocd and moving and there is nothing about it anywhere.
I have ocd and i think part of it is moving. I cant
stand movin it drives me crazi. I moved 6 years ago
from the place i grew up and i still cant get over
it. I think about it all the time and it makes me
really depressed and upset im not there. I dream
about my old neighborhood at least twice a week. I think
i will feel like this forever. I wus just wonderin
if anybody ever feels this way and do u get over it.
