Hello,
Hope your day is going well.
Am going to share my story about OCD...
I had lived with OCD for more than a decade. OCD is not a good companion to live with.
It all started when I was studying in first grade, I was constantly saying to myself that am going to die. I don't know why I kept saying the same lines again and again but I never stopped.
To my shock, I started to have uncomfortable thoughts which I cannot share with anyone(even with my parents). I accumulated those thoughts over and over again. I would say that I have got a Ph.D. in that. I didn't say what was going on to my parents. I even thought it is very common for people to live with those unwanted thoughts.
I continued my studies in spite of having those thoughts. I struggled a lot in understanding the concepts. I was not able to concentrate in the classes because deep inside me I was fighting within myself to prove that I didn't wantedly have those uncomfortable thoughts. Hard to understand right?
yes, it is. I was living internally in another world. I remember I used to cry daily(No one knew until now)
I didn't even know that this is called OCD until I read an article about having unwanted thoughts and it is called OCD.
To my surprise, I went for a consultation with the same doctor who wrote that article(I didn't knew until I visited him!)
I was not able to digest the fact that I had visited my time,my energy, my studies because of OCD. As they say, Time is the best healer.
I kept asking myself why me?
As years passed, I was completely out of OCD. But those past moments where I suffered is still in my heart and thoughts!
Have you lived with OCD?
