From people who came through it
“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life so but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad so I started saying no to things and it made a big difference. Go slowly.”
Aaron from Richmond · been through ocd“For whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was hand washing till my skin cracks. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back.”
Vasie · been through ocd“I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Back then it was pure O and nobody understanding. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy. x”
Mei Fg · been through ocd“I was in the same place in 2022. I remember pure O and nobody understanding like it was yesterday. I got a new job this spring.”
