OCD is not cute. It’s not quirky. OCD is not Monica from Friends. It’s not ‘most satisfying’ video compilations. It’s not organized. OCD is not helpful, it’s serving no one. No one needs it.

I am so emotional over all of these responses. To everyone who is commenting about their experiences- thank you for being open. This is inspiring.

Also want to make sure to plug the @IOCDF . They’re an amazing organization, one that has changed my life, and a MUST if you are in need of resources. Check out this amazing video they made:

The response this has received has been overwhelming. My OCD left me debilitated and unable to function. I was lucky enough to get residential treatment that saved my life, but not everyone is as lucky. I’m so sorry all of you have suffered in the ways that you have

Everyone should have access to proper treatment. And I hope someday we will achieve equity in the healthcare system. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read and share this. Education is the enemy of stigma.
