I also suffer from severe OCD, and saw your response to that person about it. I don't know what your compulsions are, but I can definitely relate to you when you say it's not easy to drop & no one else can understand it. It makes life so much harder than it already is, but stay strong. you're not alone <3
Thank you so much :) I just hate when people act like they know. Mental disorders get thrown under the bus way to often, and people get the misconception that because it’s “psychological” its automatically possible self treat it. As if I WANT to continue to live like this. I’ve tried tons of times to overcome it on my own and it actually made it worse, so those that have never lived with it, REALLY don’t understand.

exactly! i’m on medication with a combo of cognitive behavioral therapy at the moment, but it doesn’t work too great either. i hate when people expect simple remedies like meds or just the mind set to “cure” you. it’s not a cold, it’s a lifestyle.
