Hey everyone! I stumbled upon this insightful article by John Green where he beautifully describes how living with OCD feels like having an invasive weed inside his mind. It’s such a relatable and powerful analogy that sheds light on the internal struggle individuals with OCD face. I found it really encouraging to see someone as influential as Green openly talking about mental health, breaking down stereotypes, and sparking important conversations. Have any of you read the article? I’d love to hear your thoughts and insights on how we can continue to raise awareness and support those affected by OCD.
