It has a unique stigma in that most people believe it is minor or just a quirk. I am telling you that it is definitely not and it is debilitating, confusing and life-ruining. I am opening this up to anyone that wants to talk about it. I have received treatment for it and I have become well versed in it. Please comment if you want to talk to me about this. | |

She has an unrealistic fear of germs, and she has a morning routine that lasts about 4-5 hours. She cant organize her time around anyone else, and it is really hard on the whole family. Now she is suffering from a drug addiction because it’s the only thing that helps her calm down and be able to function somewhat. | |

1239 QA Reputation90 | mew said 9 years, 4 months ago: I’ve only recently been told [not directly as such but basically subtly when being referred for CBT] that I have violent or harm OCD. It’s taken over my life for the last 15 years and I didn’t even know it. It’s only as the intrusive thoughts and anxiety have gotten worse that I’ve even known that OCD has this many different forms. I’ve always had little things that I just thought were habits though like, I really don’t like odd numbers and certain words make me uncomfortable, but I never even thought to put it down as OCD until now. | |

It’s a really difficult diagnosis to receive, as it can often feel like a ‘death sentence’ of sorts. If anyone here wants to talk to me about living with OCD, feel free to send me a message. | |
