Finding out I had OCD was a shock at first, but I’ve slowly come to terms with it. It’s been challenging to navigate my symptoms, especially as a young adult trying to balance work, relationships, and self-care. At times, it can feel overwhelming, but I’m learning to take it day by day and find what works for me. I’ve found comfort in therapy and connecting with others who have similar experiences. It’s a relief to know that I’m not alone in this, and there are resources available to help me manage my OCD. I try to focus on the progress I’ve made and remind myself that it’s okay to ask for support when I need it. I’m hopeful that with time and self-compassion, I’ll continue to find ways to thrive despite my OCD challenges.
