Years of struggling with a condition that can be deeply debilitating. And I understand why. For me, so much of it hid in my thoughts. I thought I was trying to fix a problem with myself, without realising OCD was the problem. It’s difficult looking back at the time I was struggling most. I think about how much suffering I might have been spared if I’d known then what I know now and got help sooner. Within six months of my diagnosis, I felt like a different person. Everyone’s different, but there are effective treatments out there. If you’re going through this right now, please know there is hope for better days ahead x
