Share & Save📍 OCD thrives in secrecy & shame. So I’ll keep talking about it 🗣️
OCD accompanied me through most of my life from childhood, undetected because it ‘didn’t look like’ the OCD we see on TV & in the media.
Terrifying, taboo thoughts, invisible hidden from the world compulsions. I just thought this was how my brain was. Turned out it was OCD.
I don’t want anyone else to take 30 years to figure out their brain isn’t broken - but we’ve still got a long way to go.
