It sounds like two separate problems to me. I'm not qualified to make a diagnosis, but I think the exposing yourself is a different problem to your OCD.

I don't think the courts are really in a position to deal with your problem, and it would be worth asking your probation officer, if you have one, if you can be referred to a mental health team for both of your problems. If not, then ask your GP to refer you. There is help there, and it sounds as though you need it.

I'm afraid that the courts don't always haven't the expertise or the resources to address mental health issues of people who come before them. There are too many people in prison with mental health problems, and it's often the wrong place for them.

It's difficult to ask for help when you are feeling vulnerable, but do make sure you ask, and ask the right people.

thank you for your reply,right from the start all I ever wanted is some kind of medical help

I know I have a mental healf problem,but getting somone to belive me is very difficult

I was watching a film called beutifull mind,russell crow,i would willingly have electric shock

treatment if it cures me. by the way,i hace exposed myself 3 separate times to 3 separate

naubours at a distant of say 300 yards away,but after the first time everone were straining

their necks last one had a telephoto lens camera thained at my window.sorry to be so long

winded,but to only tell harf the story ,would be wrong,any thanks for your reply.sallyskins.

The electric shock treatment isn't really used now. It's considered old-fashioned and there are better drug treatments and cognitive behavioural therapy.

Do talk to your probation officer or GP about getting some treatment. It's their job, and once you are referred to a team you should start being able to deal with your problems.

thanks again,sallyskins.i have been throu all these possabilitys,i was put on

sertraline by hospital,probation sent me on a coarse lasting 9months,it invoveld

sitting round with sex afenders,who have all been in jail,talking to each other,

for me who had never ,even been in a police station before allthis,was not very

pleasant.i did not fit in from the start.the probation people sent me on this coarse

even thou I was under woodlans hostspital.hospital then withdrew from my treatment.o sallyskins all this has contributed to my thinking of taking my life.

Sallyskins• in reply to6 years ago

Possibly the sex offenders you were on the course with were convicted of more serious crimes than just 'flashing'. That could be why you felt you didn't fit in.

Do get in touch with your probation officer again, or your GP. There is more treatment available out there. Don't for a minute consider taking your own life. There are ways out of your situation. If it gets too much for you, why not phone the Samaritans. They can listen, and won't condemn you.
