You, Me & OCPD Support Group
Greg Brooks is the peer facilitator for the You, Me & OCPD! support group. Greg started this group two years ago to create a space for people who are dealing with aspects of Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder in their daily lives.
Time & Location
This meetup takes place at 9p.m. EST every 2nd & 4th Thursday of each month. There is no physical location, as this is an online meetup. The group is in English, but it is international.
Updates and changes are posted in the OCPD Support Group on Facebook, on Reddit & Discord.
Who is this for?
Those who feel they may struggle with some aspects of Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. Our group is open to those with a formal diagnosis and to those who may only struggle with individual traits (e.g., getting lost in details). It’s also open to loved ones of those with OCPD.
Privacy
We take anonymized notes from our discussions (paraphrases of helpful ideas from each other), which you can opt out of by writing "do not consent" or "no notes from me" during the Zoom chat.

FAQs

The meetings start with announcements and then go into the "check-in" portion of the meeting ("How are you feeling today? Any expectations?"). Afterwards, we dive into the day’s discussion topic.
People are welcome to participate in the ways that they are comfortable; some choose to have the camera/mic off and just participate in the chat! Others simply listen to the conversation and may choose to participate at some point in the future. The meetings strive to be a helpful, calm & empathetic place.
-
We have discussed dozens of topics. In a recent group, we conferred on how OCPD relates to relaxation, relationships & personal development. We have gone over books and specific therapies (DBT, CBT) related to the current topic. We are always open to new topic ideas and suggestions.
