Hello everyone, I wanted to share my experience with managing my OCPD symptoms at 53. It has been a challenging road, but with the support of my loved ones and the resources available at Mayo Clinic, I have been able to make progress. It’s important to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a step towards self-care and well-being. I have found therapy to be incredibly helpful in understanding and managing my symptoms. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and finding healthy outlets for my anxiety has made a significant difference. I encourage anyone else dealing with OCPD to not lose hope and to reach out for support. It’s never too late to take steps towards a healthier mindset and lifestyle.
