Yes, it is like fighting your mind... OCD is a huge part of me, 5 years of it.....

The tapping, cleaning, washing it is all so much...

God bless you Lauren for being brave, you ahev helped the community understand us...... we are human beings too.

OCD sucks

@mrkizman011 No its horrible, only an idiot would think that OCD is a good thing.. .The only thing you are trying to do is to find something positive about the disorder.

i have ocd and its really difficult to get help because you fiel alienated like no one else has it.

[mrkizman011]

in a way ocd is good because it helps you work on the things ur bad at until ur good at them

I have OCD and I finally went to the doctor. I didn't know what was wrong with me nor did I think there was any way I could possibly get better.. But I went to a doctor and got put on meds and my life has changed dramatically. If you have OCD, go see a doctor and get help. You will be suprised how your OCD will actually go away (at least that's what happened to me).

WOW man that was crazy to hear you say this cause I feel the same RIGHT NOW but its cause I refueled the OCD goin to my first class tomorrow

[MrJakeBFTW]

@razagang09 I've told family, they say it's normal, they say I don't need help.

If I do these things and it's apparently not obsessive compulsive disorder, what is it?

[razagang09]
