I have OCD and I talk about it. Sometimes in a funny way. Sometimes in an informative way. Always in a real way. 💪🏻🧼🧠
Some days I feel this overwhelming sense of sadness for every person who has ever had OCD. It’s such a tortuous disorder and so cruel. I try and remember “there’s always someone who has it worse” but I always find myself coming back to “yea but at least they experienced some life without OCD” 1/

Having OCD is being constantly torn between two minds. One of those minds knows that OCD is completely irrational and you should just “Pull yourself together”. It can see how “crazy” your OCD looks from the outside. But you can’t stop because of the second mind…. 1/2

Having OCD for so many years means that my original obsessions have morphed so much that I can’t actually pin point them. It’s like the intrusive thought has dissipated and what’s driving the compulsions is just a completely generalised sense of fear. 1/2

The trouble with saying “just this once” to OCD is that it will ALWAYS make that the new normal. For example, I might be wiping contact points in my home and one day I’ll think “I don’t usually wipe THAT handle, but I will today.”

I can’t explain how incredible it feels when you finally start to take back ground from OCD. It’s like this messy grey sludge that has been in your brain for as long as you can remember has suddenly evaporated, and you can feel and experience life in colour.

A part of OCD that isn’t talked about enough is the utter humiliation we experience when performing our compulsions. Knowing how ridiculous we must look to others is a special kind of torture, yet we can’t stop because the alternative feels so much worse. 1/
